Here are some easy ways you can build confidence and self-esteem in a child.

  • When you listen to a child, they learn they are worth listening to.
  • If you consider a child’s point of view, they learn that it is valuable.
  • When you appreciate a child’s company, they become great company.
  • If you provide a nurturing environment, children learn to feel good about themselves.
  • When you believe children have good things to contribute, they will look for ways to help.
  • If you open your world to a child, their world becomes an open one.
  • If you give a child space, they will learn to claim it for their own.
  • Above all, recognize the spark in a child, and then watch as they learn to shine brighter and brighter.
