Children must
have positive
self-image
In order to lead happy and pro-
ductive lives, children need to
develop a positive self-image, the
feeling that “I am somebody.” Two
articles in the March issue of PTA
Today, the National PTA’s maga-
zine, offer suggestions for how par-
ents can help their children develop
self-esteem.
According to Thomas Coleman, a
Fellow of the American Academy of
Pediatrics, and author of the first
article, the following ideas can help
foster self-estemm in children:
-Level with children. Don’t talk
down to a young person; instead,
put yourself at eye level with a
child. It can often minimize a prob-
lem, as well as make the child feel
equal.
-Let children make decisions. For
example, early participation in
health care decisions such as, ‘Do
you want liqued medicine or tab-
lets?,” lessens a child’s feeling of
powerlessness, and can foster an
intelligent consumer attitude in chil-
dren.
-Value rules. The purpose of rules
is to help people get along with each
other and in turn, feel good about
themselves. The best rules are writ-
ten during calm times with the
participation of the child.
-Show child you understand. Share
your childhood memories with your
child.
