Self-respect is one of the most important qualities of the human person. And its formation begins in childhood, when the baby for the first time realizes some dignity in himself (talent, ability for some kind of activity). The basis for developing self-esteem in childhood is praise from parents.
Instructions
Step 1
Let your child engage in any activity that interests him. It is through the practice of trial and error that he will be able to find something close to himself, to be realized in communication with other people (both adults and children). Self-esteem consists of successful attempts to show your abilities in something. Give your child the opportunity to take action.
Step 2
Observe your baby, what does he do best? Usually he himself strives to do this constantly. Perhaps he enjoys reading. Buy interesting, beautifully designed books for him. Let your kid become the most erudite child in school. If he strives for sports - he loves to run, play ball, constantly compete with someone and loves to win - send him to the sports section. Let his abilities be revealed there by 100%. Only in doing what you love, constantly making efforts, you can achieve success. And success breeds self-esteem.
Step 3
Maintain children's enthusiasm. If your child succeeds once, remind him of it. Offer to repeat the result, thereby developing his abilities. The child must believe in himself, and the parents can help him in this, supporting his desire to develop.
Step 4
Give your child some small assignments. Press a button on the washing machine, place plates on the table, pour milk for a cat, help take care of your little brother or sister. Feelings of trusted responsibility will help build a child's self-esteem.
Step 5
Tell your friends, relatives and friends about the achievements of your baby. If your kid has made a beautiful craft, put it in a large room in the most conspicuous place. Let all who come see her and celebrate her merits. The kid should understand that parents are proud of his achievements, this becomes an additional incentive for further action and self-improvement.
Step 6
Come up with a big thing with your child. For example, the game of Indians. Talk with your child about what needs to be done to make the game work. Divide the entire work plan into stages: creating costumes, scenery, inventing the very plot of the game … After the child successfully completes each stage, praise him. Take your time to help the child in everything and do everything for him. Don't let him feel incompetent about anything. Be patient, because your task is for the child to respect himself, and for this he must succeed on his own.
