Is
your teen struggling with self-esteem?
Teach
teens to feel empowered and confident by recognizing that they have control
over their self-concept. A self-concept is a collection of beliefs about one’s
behavior and unique qualities. In other words, your self-concept is your own
mental picture of yourself. It is a
collection of self-perceptions.
The
verbal and non-verbal messages your teen believes about them affects their
self-concept. Teach teens to avoid these three words - 'I will try'. ‘I will try’ gives
them permission to fail or to avoid commitment. Teach them to feel confident
and capable by using three power words - 'I
will do'.
A healthy, positive mental picture will help to increase your teen's self-esteem.
Take the time to EMPOWER your son or daughter!
