Re: How to give our children a chance of having a healthy self-esteem?
A parenting person that I read says that self esteem comes from doing. We can't compliment our children into it and trying to give them self esteem so they'll behave better is backwards. They gain self esteem by doing better. So keeping the standards high, and showing them that they CAN do it helps. That being said, I think there are personalityt ypes that are more prone to low self esteem The introverted Ns mostly because they are so introspective.
