Stay connected with your kids. Let them know they are important to you. Give them ideas on how to feel good about themselves. Sit down with them to make a list about all the things that makes kids unique. Help them become self-aware of their wonderful qualities. This will help their self-esteem.
Remind them of their own unique qualities when they have a hard time with other skills. Model non-competitive behaviors with other. If they see the parent compete with the neighbors, it will make them think they have to become competitive whether they wish to or not. Instead point out that everyone has different qualities and that is ok. Finding the good in oneself and in others is a great practice and can become a fun game.
This will help the child become more resilient. If they have a hard time with one thing, they and you can remind them about something that they are naturally talented in. Remind them of a skill they acquired through practice.
Share with them if there is something is hard for you, so they know that it is normal that we have good days or bad days. This will help them cope when thing are difficult. Self-esteem is closely related with a realistic self-image.
Also listen to them and pay attention to them. If you are separated from your kids all day because of school and your work, you can connect with them through their Hawkeye Smartwatches and your Vigilint Family Assistant app.
