Develop your child's sense of self-respect

When children don’t respect themselves, they find it hard to value other people and treat them respectfully. To bolster self-respect, give your child opportunities to develop competence by practicing skills. Notice progress and successes, and encourage your child to stay positive in the face of challenges. Allowing your child to make age-appropriate choices shows that what your child thinks matters. And sticking to your principles and demonstrating your own self-respect encourages your child to do the same.
