Children want language and experiences to improve their self-esteem to be confident in a harsh world.  Consider the following topics to assist your child in becoming a better person.

All children require unconditional love and acceptance for who they are, not simply for their achievements or behaviour. Let them know they are loved.

#1 Words of unconditional love and acceptance

Praise children for their efforts rather than their successes. It teaches kids that mistakes are natural and makes them feel seen and respected for their efforts.

#2 Praise for effort and progress

Validating children's sentiments informs them that their emotions are normal and that it is acceptable to express them. 

#3 Validation of their feelings and experiences

Encourage children to think critically and seek solutions on their own.  Provide age-appropriate duties and decision-making chances to help them broaden their minds.
