Self-esteem

9. How to Strengthen Your Child

A child's self-esteem thrives in the relationship with their parent and grows through presence and engagement. In this lecture, we explore how factors such as praise, criticism, achievements, and social comparisons influence your child’s self-esteem. You will receive practical tools to help your child feel valuable and secure, regardless of external pressures. We also discuss how sports, physical activity, and meaningful leisure time can strengthen a sense of belonging and contribute to a positive self-image — and how you as a parent can support healthy peer relationships.
