How do you improve self esteem?

Indeed, I was shy and self-abased when I was a primary school student because of my appearence. Although my parents told me that I was a lovely girl, I could not get rid of the depression. I hope you can deal with your daughter's problem because this pessive attitude will be with her for a long time if it is not solved in time. I hope your lovely girl will smile with confidence all the time:)

If you don't have alot of money to pay for extra articular activities (and I know how that is, I have 4 kids and its very expensive) Churches are a great source for classes outside of school. Also check with your school, and parks and rec there's alot of "after school" money allocated to schools to provide free or inexpensive programing. Parks and Recs provide alot of inexpensive classes. Classes outside of school give kids a feeling of accomplishment and can help them find their niche. Churches often have great music programs. My kids when our church's music program every summer when they were about your daughters age. They learned alot had fun, and it help with self esteem. But I gotta tell ya, there was one young lady who I've watched grow up in church, who some might consider "big", what an inspiration she is. Talk about a triple threat. She sings, dances, plays the piano, the sax and the drums. Ok, thats more like quadruple threat. Believe me, no one looks at her and even thinks about her "size". Bottom-line, once anyone finds something their good at, appearance seems less important. That attitude transcends and your appearance is less important to others as well.

self-esteem in children can be derived from their parents. communication is always important. talk to her about what happens in school, how does she feel, what she plans to do with what she feels negatively, and then tell her of what you think. make her feel she is special, that she is one of a kind. tell her what she has that other children do not have, especially those positive physical, mental and emotional traits that are in her. i hope things will work out well with her.

A kid is not natural with self-esteem. It is cultured through family and public. The job of mom and dad is to turn their kids into self-confident individuals with a sense of self-worth. Self-esteem helps a kid try new things even with the probability of failure, helping them to attain whatever they may want out of life. Keep your individual self-esteem great. Several teenagers take signs from their parents and may assume the same outlooks they are experiencing at home.

yeah as parents you must keep telling and making good for your daughter. Things will change, she is just in first standard. She will improve. Just watch her weight, don't let her eat much junk. If she is tall, she is like a model. Tell her all good things possible and that she is the best and those kids are not like her because she is the best. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hello krufar5 greetings. You have a wonderful daughter. For me, to be of bigger size is an advantage and asset. Find ways that she can excel, say in sport. Pursuing activities that she is good at is one of the best ways to build self confidence.

Even my children (both son and a daughter) are tall and fat than other children of their age. But here, all the other children will treat my children with respect and special love. As you are living in a different region might be, the things are different over there, in that case you better let your daughter to mingle with the children who are nine years and above.

That is a hard one, all you do is keep on telling her how wonderful she is and praising her accomplishments while reminding her that she will not always be taller and bigger and that some day the other kids will be the same size. Most kids shoot up a lot in third grade so it is very likely she will not have this problem for long. In the mean time introduce her to activities where her height is an advantage.

Hi! Just advice her and be there for your daughter, also encourage her to do workshops or extra-curricular activities to meet new friends and that would boost her self esteem. Your patience in nurturing your daughter will someday be rewarded. (",)

I am a mom to four girls. Ranging in age from 28 to 9 now. That is a tricky age for girls. They want to be accepted by their peers, independent and popular all in the same breath, and show you they don't need anybody at the same time. You can try a couple of things that may help. Find something for Her. Some activity she can do that will allow her to see she is special, and find something that she can do that she is good at and proud of. Perhaps a small theater group or even an art class. In my town there are girls empowerment groups for young girls. They start early and help them see they are beautiful no matter what others think. Girl Scouts, Brownies, all have great programs too. If she begins to see herself as beautiful, embrace herself as she is, she will gain self esteem that puts her on cloud nine. I was in a similar situation when I was young. My parents arranged a sleep over and limited the number of kids so I could make new friends. We planned activities, baked cookies, and did fun things and I got to meet kids I wouldn't otherwise talk to. I don't know if this will help, but I do know, once my daughters each found out for themselves that they were unique, what others said or did, no longer bothered them because they learned they were all that and a bag of cookies!
