Improve self-esteem through fun
The self esteem It is a fundamental piece in the day to day of any person. Before being comfortable with other people, the first step is to enjoy the company of oneself and know how to make the most of the skills that are possessed. However, the failures and the numerous criticisms that are received in the day to day can cause that this value is reduced considerably.
Something that happens more frequently in children and adolescents. In the case of the youngest ones, because they still do not know their virtues since they have not had time to discover them, in the case of young people because this age of changes makes too many uncertainties cloud the judgment about the person. Therefore, one of the tasks of the parents is to promote self esteem in their children to get these can rely on themselves to make the most of their abilities.
Enjoying and trusting
The game can be an excellent tool to promote self-esteem. The youngest and teenagers can discover their worth through activities they master and with which they find something to highlight:
-Try and try. What is good for children? It's a mystery, and the only way to do it is by trying. Cooking, practicing some sport, there are many activities to try and have fun while discovering what children stand out for.
-To encourage the practice of these skills. Have you already discovered what is highlighted? To enhance this skill through practice! Courses of this activity, practice at home, anything is worth to enjoy while you discover what is good.
- Do not stay in one activity. Surely there are many things that are good for children. Testing and trying again will make the child's self-esteem grow when he sees that he can master not one, but many other skills.
-Reduce fears. Parents must make children lose their fears, at first it will cost a little, but as the practice of a certain activity is normalized. If there is something the child wants to do, the parents should encourage them to do it without terror to the "what they will say".
-The game of the chair. A music is played and the children must walk next to a group of chairs. When the melody is interrupted, at least one of them will be left without a seat. What a priori may seem a classic activity, can help children lose their fear of being ridiculed and accept each game as an opportunity to have fun and laugh.
-Write a letter. One way for children to get to know themselves is to write a letter highlighting those points where they think they are better. Then read it out loud so that they themselves learn more about their inner world.
