Possible Solutions

Ways to Help a Child Overcome Low Self-Esteem 

• Positive interactions
• Positive interactions have to come from inside the home
•  These interactions help children to be stronger and more secure in them self (Bergeron).

• Support 
• Needs to come from parents, teachers, and caregivers. 
• If a child tries their best and put effort into the work they do that should be the only thing that matter. 
• Parents that set unachievable goals for their kids should only be angry with themselves.

• Addressing the negative issues (Bergeron)
• One negative issue that children face the most is bullying and or cyber bullying. 
• Talk to kids about the worries that they are having.
• Be aware of the kids and the reactions they have to different environments 

Children need to be placed in situations that are going to help them and improve their self-esteem problems. If the self-esteem of a child is increased then the numbers in many of the negatives things will decrease such as:

• fewer kids turning to the streets committing crimes. 

• fewer kids turning to gangs just to have someone to love them. 

• fewer babies having babies. 

• fewer kids committing suicide. 

If this happens the kids of tomorrow will be better prepared to take on the difficult task the lie in their future. Problems will be easier for the kids to deal with when they become adults.
