Self-Esteem Development
Self-Esteem Development
Self-esteem development is the process of growing an awareness of your own worth and learning to value yourself deeply.
Details
Self-esteem development is the process through which children and adolescents form evaluations of their own worth and abilities. Warm and nurturing parenting, experiences of success, and positive peer relationships all contribute to healthy self-esteem development.
During adolescence, self-esteem can be significantly shaken by concerns about appearance, academic performance, and peer relationships. Unconditional love and acceptance, along with praise for effort rather than outcome, help build a strong foundation of self-esteem in children.
Self-esteem is not fixed — it can continue to grow and change throughout life. Mindy is here to support you as you explore and strengthen your sense of self-worth.
