Be spontaneous and affectionate with your child. Your love will go a long way to boost your child's self-esteem. Give her hugs. Tell her you're proud of her. Give praise frequently and honestly, without overdoing it.
Kids can tell whether something comes from the heart.
Give positive, accurate feedback. But I appreciate that you didn't yell at him or hit him . This acknowledges her feelings and rewards the choice she made, encouraging her to make the right choice again next time. Create a safe, nurturing home environment. A child who does not feel safe or is being abused in her own home will suffer immensely from low self-esteem.
