Self Esteem

A large number of parents think that teaching self-esteem is "the school's responsibility". But please, no! It's too late for at that age. The first 5 years are crucial for forming the child's self-esteem yet the first 5 years are also the most stressful because everything is starting from zero the only way for the child to learn is to try and fail and try again. Everytime that the child fails you just need to be by their side, helping them feel safe and encourage them that after the failure they will find a better way in essence, after they fall many times, the baby learns to walk.

Why do children play with each other so easily? because they understand each other If we want children to be more open to us, then we must be children ourselves. Meritorious Artist Nguyen Xuan Bac, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador

The first signs of self-esteem in children begin very early on when children acknowledge that they're a semi-independent individual they recognize who they are, their position, what value they have 
what can they do, and how can they do it, to create good relationships. During this process, the child's self-esteem starts to form. Parents need to nurture their child's self-esteem because our children will eventually have to step out into the world alone and the child has to be an individual ready to take the initiative in solving their problems.

Failure holds great value in cultivating your personality and attitude when you face failure. Therefore parents shouldn't do everything for their kids they shouldn't prepare the best of everything for the child so that the child can grow. As the child's abilities grow respecting the child, and creating chances for them to challenge themselves is also very important.
