Tips for keeping your child's self esteem intact

by Celia

Created on: October 30, 2008

This simple, yet underlying theme and the foundations of the matter of life itself; and the child's or our future prospects, hopes or short-comings, fall downs, pick-ups whether through thick or thin; we struggle, eventually survive and thus strive to overcome the mistakes made or successes not yet achieved. This foundation,; our upbringing into the world being such a vast multifaceted and quite ignorant and very competitive and selfish, one will eventually find, if founded well, balanced or understood by the parents we have or people we look to who raise us, are; the building bocks to which thus create or mould further future generations.

In my personal observations and experience, the present society, if one stops to pause once in awhile; to look around and have a quiet moment to oneself; one willl realise that society does NOT pay any attention to how the future generation of children and adolescents will-in my opinion- be most probably affected by the present day actions of adult individuals. Namely, and most importantly here, are the parents.

The parental role and the a child(s) self esteem is a subject of monumental, paramount importance! However tautological that may sound, you'll discover why such emphasis i've placed on this subject matter, one which is quite honestly a very defined critical theme, analogous to my personal life experiences, horrendous or otherwise. The objective i've placed is on the profound revelations through others' (i.e societie's) pressures/misinterpretations and thus stereotyped beliefs moulded into them, due to unfortunately, but typically the media. How it indulges and emelisshes into the delightfyl scandals to us, but rather personal experineces of the victims at stake and centrefold of stories manifested. This I consider hugely narrow-minded in approach, and also that which instills fear is for: pure entertainment? news they call it?

Or is it just sheer attention, of course focused upon those stereotyped-enough to become encapsulated under the the narrow viewpoint at stake, or outer stance.

Furthermore; thus bringing the parental role and UPBRINGING rle into focus; their embedded opinions of, either racial, prejudice of gendered-based beliefs will, i believe obviously lead a child, such with only this sort of narrow-minded view of life into play. . thus leading to breakdowns and lost relationship; cascades of friendships, omitted from their lives as they discover the truths hidden; that "it was not all as happy-as-Larry" from the inner square that they grew up . . but will obviously, and no doubtedly, adapt quickly to survive emotionally and mentally, aswell as remain a stable statutre of a human figure whilst in and surrounded by the intricately difficult yet inevitale other facets of life faced, this not only limited and occuring to their present but also future stages of life.
