self esteem
As children are growing up, parents find that one thing they are mainly concerned about is addressing the development of their child’s Self-Esteem. We use Self-Esteem to judge how much we respect ourselves and more importantly, to love ourselves just the way we are.
We can develop Self-Esteem at any time in our life, but in order to build up a good foundation it is better to start in the formative years as we are growing and developing.
In psychology scientists and other experts believe that how much Self-Esteem we have depends on luck itself. Some babies are naturally born with a lot of Self-Esteem and others need to develop it further. They also believe that parents are born with a high Self-Esteem then the likelihood of producing babies with a high Self-Esteem is better.
It is not a proven fact whether genes or how we inherit our personality contribute to this factor; although some evidence shows that there could be a genetic link.
What we are born with does not predict what you are going to be like for the rest of your life, so it doesn’t matter if you are born with low Self-Esteem. It can be developed at any age, so starting young gives you a good foundation to build on. Whatever we experience in life can change the levels of our Self-Esteem – that is to say that it can fluctuate.
There are many factors which can affect the way we develop our Self-Esteem, so this could in effect bring about low Self-Esteem. To a child growing up, how they are treated by the parents can have a bearing on how they think they should treat themselves, as well as their perception on how they allow others to treat them.
Group social interaction in our lives can affect the way we think – the difficulties that we face can sometimes be traumatic, leading to low Self-Esteem, and at the opposite end of the scale our happier times can increase these levels.
How we choose our friends can be a factor that will determine how much Self-Esteem we have. Those that boost your confidence and are influential can do much to help us develop, whilst those who continually undervalue us with putdowns can leave us feeling at a low ebb.
Being surrounded by people who continually praise us and point out our abilities and other gifts, increase our self confidence, because they show that they believe in us. Placing that trust and planting these thoughts in our minds about how good we are at doing things, help us to work better. This cycle of positiveness will give us high levels of Self-Esteem.
The activities that we choose to do can also be a factor in how we build up our Self-Esteem. If you enrol on a course at College and you find that you are stuck with something you don’t enjoy, this can lower your Self-Esteem, whereas a course that you really enjoy would do the opposite by making you feel more positive.
Taking part in things that you enjoy and love can build up your Self-Esteem so much that you feel a lot of enthusiasm and can give your best. As a result, you can succeed in achieving and accomplishing something that you can be proud of – increasing your Self-Esteem!
