Supporting Self-Esteem

2 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Helping Children to Develop Self-Esteem

Page 6

There are many ways that an early childhood educator can help children to develop self-esteem. Some ideas are:
Picture
Be a positive role model
Don’t be too hard on yourself or speak ill of yourself. Children will mirror what they see.
Picture
Identify and redirect negative remarks
If a child speaks ill of themselves, it is important to identify this and to redirect their negativity about themselves to a more realistic and positive standard.
Picture
Give positive feedback 
Instead of saying “You get so frustrated and lose your temper!” try instead, “I know that you are upset, but it was very responsible of you to talk about your feelings instead of yelling.”
Picture
Create a safe environment
Children who don’t feel safe are at greatest risk for low and unhealthy self-esteem. This may be due to the lack of the feeling of control that they have in their lives. Creating a safe environment gives children a sense of relief and control and allows them to build their confidence.
Picture
Respect their opinions
Showing children that their opinions are valued and respected helps support their self-esteem and build their confidence.
Picture
Value the children in your care
Caregivers who verbally express positive respect and recognition to the children in their care create a warm and welcoming environment.
