Activities
for Improving your Child's Self Esteem
Simple activities that
give your child a sense of responsibility can improve
your child’s self esteem. Ask yourself “what
can my child do at his /her age to help in the home”?
One activity that many children are capable of doing,
even small children, is setting the table.
Start by getting your
child to help you set the table
Together count the number
of people for the meal and then count together all the cutlery
needed
For older children show
the child where the items go and allow her/him to do the
next place setting and so on praising the effort made
For you children you
could count all the knives and forks together and allow
him/her to place the forks on the table and you place the
knives. This way you are taking a gradual approach giving
your child the best chance for success and the chance to
offer genuine praise for a job well done. Have fun!
