Here are the foundation's suggestions for building self-esteem in your child:
- Praise your child for the effort she's made, rather than the outcome.
- Redirect your child's irrational perceptions of herself.
- Be very affectionate with your child -- give her lots of spontaneous hugs and encouraging notes.
- Be truthful in your feedback, but try to highlight the positive.
- Encourage her to participate in activities that encourage cooperation, rather than competition.
