It is so important that we teach our children how to build their confidence and maintain a strong esteem. Young people struggle today with their body image, feeling insecure and having distorted ideas about their appearance. Media pressures are extremely powerful and can have disastrous effects on a child who lacks confidence in their abilities and has very little esteem. They need the support of parents who can be positive role models that demonstrate through example how to feel good about their own self-image.
When your children are small, start helping them build confidence by working alongside them to master their abilities and skills, supporting them when they fail and encouraging them to try again. When children feel that they are loved and valued, they will become confident and this will build their esteem. If you are a parent who lacks confidence and has low esteem, work hard to make positive changes in your own life so you can help your children become confident, responsible adults. Don’t let your children struggle with feelings of insecurity, believing what the media tells them and allowing bullies to have a negative effect on their thinking. The article below shows the devastating effects that bullies have on insecure teens.
