In a classroom, at a birthday party, in the square, we see immediately the difference. There are the intrepid little ones, swollen with confidence , those who palaverate, raise their finger all the time in class, organize the games ... And the others, who remain in their corner, let themselves be tossed their toy without saying a word , do not dare go to the others. Confidence in self- esteem is an important quality to develop in a child who will accompany him / her all his / her life and one of the pillars of success even more than the IQ! It facilitates professional and social relations, gives the audacity to undertake, helps to rebound in failures or breaks. A necessary asset in this demanding society, where our children will need a solid ego to adapt to changes in their careers.
Self-esteem is not innate . It is built through love and education , first in the family, according to the gaze and the consideration of its parents on the child. But also in interaction with peers and the social environment. To transmit this force to her child requires fingering. It is a question of causing it to evaluate itself at its true value. To repeat it all day long: "You are great, darling" risks making a killer ready to crush everyone or, on the contrary, to insecure. For too many compliments, it sounds false, and the child is not deceived. Adult, it is sometimes necessary to regain that confidence, undermined by the small accidents of life. But if, little, one has become aware of its value, one knows how to overcome the difficulties and one can rise again. It is a passport for happiness.
