There comes a time when a woman needs to stop thinking about her looks and focus her energies on raising her children. This time comes at the moment of conception. A child needs a role model, not a supermodel. Astrid Alauda, on the "hot mom" trend Constructing Your Child's Healthy Sense of Self Esteem
Your child's self esteem is their mental foundation. A self-assured child is confident, secure, happy, well-adjusted and successful. They can solve problems that come their way, and it thrives under a loving parent's nurturing care.
What are some good ways to built self esteem in your child?
Most importantly, accept your child for who they are, and help them do the same. Teach your child that nobody is perfect, and that everyone makes mistakes. Show them how to learn and grow from their mistakes, and let them know that you also make mistakes. Children with high self esteem are able to take lessons from mistakes and apply them down the road. A child with low self esteem become frustrated and resort to self-depreciating behavior, such as calling themselves 'stupid' and vowing to 'never try that again.'
Help your child discover their abilities and talents, and encourage outlets for them to build on and improve them. Praise a child not only for improvements in abilities and skills, but also for the traits they naturally possess.
Encourage your child to make positive choices. Open an honest dialog with your child and discuss the possibilities with them. Children who learn skills for making positive choices when they are younger are well-prepared for the tougher choices they have to make when they are older.
Ensure that you spend lots of quality time with your child, at least once a week. Whether you are shooting baskets or going out to grab a hamburger, take time to talk and keep in touch. If you find it difficult to squeeze in quality time during a hectic week, take the time to talk about things during the drive to school or while they are helping you put the groceries away.
Parenting Plan
First, try limiting the situations that trigger it.
open. closed. just a simple twisting motion. really.
Your examples become permanent images, which will shape their attitudes and actions for the rest of their life. Honesty and dishonesty are learned in the home. Limits teach children proper restraint in social and individual activities and provide children with necessary structure and security to assist in healthy development. Make sure they see that if they don't perform their chores, it affects the other members of the team. If you expect the best behavior and performance you're your child, it's often what you will get.
The connection between good deeds and special time with mom and/or dad might be just the currency they understand.
Children are very good at judging their hunger and fullness signals. Children are all very different, and what might need to be a rule for one, may not even be an issue for another. Consequences must go hand in hand with limits so that your child knows what the cost of breaking the rules will be.
