As a parent and educator, I’ve come to learn firsthand how interconnected confidence and self-esteem are to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health of kids. Confidence and self-esteem are important foundational skills that support kids on their journey’s to a lifetime of mental health and social happiness. ​

For kids, self-esteem translates to how much they value themselves and their abilities, how much they believe they are valued in the world around them, and how good they actually feel about themselves. When you add in a layer of self-confidence, it adds extra tools into their toolboxes to help them be resilient, handle setbacks, learn from their mistakes, take chances, and try again! All great ingredients for a happy, healthy, successful life. ​

Some things to note about confident kids with positive Self-Esteem:  
They are more likely to succeed in school and achieve personal goals.
They feel confident and capable in themselves and their abilities.
They are proud of the things they can do and want to try their best.
They have a sense of control over things in their life.
They can act independently.
They are able to take responsibility for their actions.
They are comfortable and secure in forming relationships.
They have the courage to make good decisions in various situations.
They try new things and master new skills.
​And the list goes on…

Considering how important it is for kids to be confident and have positive self-esteem, I wanted to share some things to consider, which also includes some resources on various ways to support kids in boosting their confidence and self-esteem. With school in full swing, now is a good time to add some of these strategies into our parent and educator toolboxes, as I’m sure things will happen and opportunities for this type of engagement will arise.
