Boosting Kids’ Self Esteem

Woman looking full of self esteem

Every parent wants their child to have high self esteem. This mini course shares tips that help make that happen. In the last chapter of the self esteem mini course I shared 60 sentences parents say that kill kids’ self esteem.

The worst 4 things parents can do that compromise our kids’ self esteem are:

  1. Telling them they are wrong
  2. Expressing disappointment
  3. Expressing shame
  4. Expressing doubt in the kids’ attempts

Fortunately, we can also say the opposite things, which will boost their self esteem:

  1. Tell kids they are right
  2. Congratulate them on their success
  3. Express pride in them
  4. Encourage them to take risks and try

Today, I want to share 60 sentences that boost self esteem. If you find some sentences you use often, use them more often. Try adopting a few more to help boost your child’s confidence.
