self-esteem in children

Self-esteem in children refers to how they perceive and value themselves. It is their overall sense of worth and confidence in their abilities and qualities. When children have healthy self-esteem, they feel capable, deserving of respect, and comfortable trying new things, even if they make mistakes. Conversely, low self-esteem can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Developing positive self-esteem helps children build resilience, form healthy relationships, and approach challenges with optimism. It is influenced by their experiences, feedback from others, and their own achievements, shaping their overall emotional well-being as they grow.
