I'm one who grew up with a terrible childhood and self-esteem was kicked very low.When that happens you don't make friends easily and finding a good job is not going to happen.To this day at age 45 I'm still working on my self-esteem.Its not easy getting something you never even had the chance to be taught before.I have made progress in the past couple years and wish my parents did their job at parenting like they should have.So many parents think that kids know everything automatically but thats not so,parents need to teach their child early on so as they grow their self-esteem grows with them.If parents don't know how to teach self-esteem ask someone you trust for advice before more kids grow up and suffer the way i did.Good self-esteem will help them get through school and learn Lot faster.No child wants to keep repeating the same grade twice because their self-esteem is so low it interrupts their thinking.Kids with low self-esteem find it hard to play with others and make friends.They also stay more to themselves and don't talk much particularly in public places.I am writing this from my own experience in childhood.It's not easy being around strangers even in a store.You spend Lot of time hiding from people which is not a good way to grow up.Children need to be taught early so they can get through school,make friends and get good jobs.In adulthood they will be able to make lots of friends without the need to hide.I'm 45 and i may not hide as much but its still not easy,but i am doing my best with what i was able to learn late in life.Parents please teach your kids high self-esteem so they don't go through what i been through.Its not easy learning high self-esteem late in life.
