Children's feelings about their own self-worth are influenced by how they have been treated by others. When a child feels good about himself, those feelings of worthiness carry over into adulthood. They care about themselves and others. They see themselves as worthwhile, contributing individuals. All children have their own personalities and their own unique abilities.
Every child has special talents and good qualities.
Praising and encouraging these traits will help children develop self-esteem. Every child needs, and is entitled to, these feelings of self-worth. Building Blocks to a Child's Self-esteem Communicate your love and acceptance. First, children need to know that their parents love them absolutely, without question. It is parental love and acceptance above all else that children seek.
