Building a Positive Self-Concept
Content: They become frustrated easily and give up on difficult tasks. These children may exhibit behavior problems if “naughty” or “bad” is a part of their self concept. What can parents do to help their children develop a positive self-concept? 1. Be mindful of the language you use to describe your children. Do not label them with words such as ‘lazy’, ‘naughty’, ‘aggressive’, or ‘stupid.’ Instead, look for and point out your child’s strengths. 2. Provide them with opportunities for success. Give your child age-appropriate tasks she can complete on her own.
