Both
children and adults are sensitive to the words they hear. Especially in a
conversation with someone in the family whom they love.
It is important as a parent that you communicate with your children in a
way that is supportive and non-threatening.Encourage them.Praise them.Show them that you care about them.
Positive communication can actually build a child’s self esteem.Self-esteem is the way a person feels about himself.A person with a high self-esteem feels confident and good about the
person she is inside.Someone with
a low self-esteem may feel shy, depressed, and lonely.You can help build your child’s self-esteem listening when they have
something to say and making them feel as if they are important.
You can also destroy a child’s
self-esteem by using insults or put-downs when you are angry.
