It’s often been said that children pick up what they live. So if you want to know where to begin helping your child raise positive self worth and self value, then you should show them your positive sense of self and high self worth. Be positive when you talk about yourself and emphasize your strong points. This will demonstrate to your child that it’s alright to be proud of their abilities,skills and talents.
Your child also benefits from true and positive praise. Find something about them to praise every day. One idea you could adopt is to give your child a exercise you know they can complete and then commend themfor a job well done after they’re finished. Show your child that positive acts have a right to positive accolades.
If your child is feeling sad, ill-tempered or depressed, communicate truthfully, honestly and patiently with them. Hear what they say without criticizing or judging. They may not fully understand why they feel the way they do, so the chance to talk with you about it is likely to be what’s needed to help them make sense of a tough situation. Where possible offer positive ways and options as resolutions, and be sure to leave that door of communication open so they know whenever they feel confused, they feel able to you for counsel and know that you won’t judge or chastise them for how they’re feeling.
Show your child the significance of setting goals and creating an action plan to achieve that goal and finish that task. Small assignments are the recommended best way to start off with in the beginning. Ensure that it’s a suitable task for your child, and not too difficult. Don’t just offer praise at the end of the assignment, but praise their accomplishments during the assignment as well.
Most important of all, be sure to tell your child “I love you” each day - many times throughout the day, in fact.
When they’ve been badly behaved, remind yourself that it’s not them you don’t like, only their poor behavior. Put little, affectionate notes in their lunch boxes or coat pockets. Before long, they’ll be able to say “I love you” just as easily and truthfully in reciprocation.
