Self Esteem Development In Children
Perhaps long ago, or not so long ago, one strategy to boost children’s self esteem was to put them down so that they would want to be better and work harder. Unfortunately, that strategy will only deflate their sense of self and reduce their desire to be better. Take a look at some examples that lead with positive language and encourage a strong sense of self, confidence and resilience.
