self-esteem

When we talk about children, we also talk about their future. In order to prepare for them to face the world, they must have enough self-esteem so that they won't easily get influence by the people.

A child with low self-esteem not only will easily influence by others but also afraid to risk trying new things, quickly frustrated by setbacks, and blames others for failure. Worst of all, s/he would feel unloved.

To parents, a good way to help their child feel confident about her/his abilities is to ask them to help you with chores around the house such as prepare a simple meal or take care of a pet. S/he will have a sense of accomplishment. Along the way, encourage her/him by giving honest praise and avoid criticism.

Lastly, parents should always communicate with their child. Stop and listen whenever s/he has sth to say and let him know his feelings and thoughts matter. Always support them as a child's self-esteem develops as s/he grows and nurture it as much as possible, so that s/he may grow up strong, happy and healthy.

(P.S. the children) protect and save the children
