Empowering children: Developing healthy self-esteem
Every parent wants their children to develop healthy self-esteem. Building a positive sense of self supports a child’s physical, social and psychological wellbeing.
Unfortunately, life’s challenges and harmful social media interactions have contributed to many children having low self-esteem – which can have a detrimental impact on their future life experiences, social interactions and sense of self-worth.
Webinar includes
- What self-esteem actually is
- How healthy self-esteem supports physical and psychological wellbeing
- Whether self-esteem and self-confidence are interchangeable
- What harms self-esteem
- Practical strategies to build healthy self-esteem
- Question and answer session
By attending this session parents and carers will come to understand factors that can harm a child’s self-esteem and learn practical approaches to supporting children to develop self-acceptance and healthy self-esteem to give children a strong foundation for life success.
