007: Shaping a Healthy Self-Esteem
How does losing at a game or getting a poor grade impact the child's self-esteem? If they are really upset about it, what implications will that have on their future sense of self-esteem? Although these are valid and potentially unpleasant life scenarios, the answer to a healthy self-esteem is not in figuring out how to respond to each of these situations. It is what happens on a daily basis outside of these scenarios, that helps the child process life events like these when they do come up. The role of a parent is huge when it comes to that general context of life and they play an important role in shaping a healthy self-esteem for their child. What is it and what can we do to help children process failures? Find out in this episode. Host: Julia Pappas, Psychologist & Parent Coach Find out more at theparentingpresence.com
