Many benefits, let's teach your little ones to love themselves

Mother feels that she has taught Little One a variety of abilities from an early age, from reading to counting. But why did he grow into a child who is often troubled and stressed? Maybe this happened because Mother had not taught to love yourself. Many parents focus on a child's academic ability but forget to teach them the importance of loving themselves. Though children who love themselves will grow more confident, proud of what they can do, able to learn from their mistakes, and not easily influenced by negative environments.

Start from simple things

Mother, teaching children to love themselves can actually be started from things that we do every day, such as:

• Helping children master new things

Children become more confident and love themselves after mastering new things. For example wearing your own clothes, reading, or riding a bicycle. Mother can give him an example first and invite him to imitate or repeat. Even if at first he didn't succeed, at least he was proud because he tried.

• Give praise wisely

Praise the child not only when he gets good results, but also praise his efforts in the process he went through. For example, "Mother is proud you have tried your best." That way, children will not feel the hard work in vain, and will get used to focus on hard work, whatever the results later.

• Use positive sentences

What and how you say something about or to your child will shape how he feels about himself. If you often call him lazy, stupid, or naughty, then he will just believe the label you call. For that, use positive words in your child.

• Invite him to speak positively to yourself

Notice if your little one starts saying often, "I can't," "I'm the dumbest in class," "I'm always wrong." Mother can invite your little one to change negative sentences into positive ones. For example, when he starts feeling insecure, ask him to look in the mirror in a mirror while saying, "I have to be able to", "or" I'm cool even though my skin isn't white! "Besides, instead of wanting to look thinner, taller, or brighter skin, teach him to prefer a healthy life with exercise and healthy eating.

• Focus on the strengths of children

Children will love themselves more, if they are given the opportunity to develop their strengths and abilities, in the things they like. For example, if a child likes to play soccer, Mother can support him by registering with soccer school.

• Let the child help

If your child wants to help with work at home, don't be banned right away, Mother. Although not yet perfect, but helping others will make him feel that he is important and needed. Teach him how to be safe, to help according to his abilities.

The things above are actually not complicated huh, Bun, it's just that it requires consistency in the long run. Later Mother can prove for yourself that children who love and believe in themselves will be better able to face challenges in life and have a lower risk of doing bad things. Come on, start teaching Little Love to yourself.
