Plan for extra time so that kids do not feel rushed. They may be slow and awkward when they are developing motor skills. Be patient and encourage their efforts to bring the spoon to the mouth or pick food from the plate rather than doing it for them. Positive self-esteem is important for kids to be happy and face the various challenges in life. Some confuse positive self esteem with pride or inflated ego.
Self esteem is a sense of self worth.
It is important that everyone feel good about themselves so that they are good to others as well.
