10 ways to nurture your child’s self-concept:
Content: As parents, we have the opportunity (and responsibility) to nurture a positive self-concept in our children. What can parents do to nurture 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 ‘mean’. 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. Having done so will give her a sense of pride and help build a “can do” mentality.
