The Issue of Teenagers Self Esteem
Despite
the brooding and the mood swings a teenagers’ self esteem is more fragile than
you think. There are a great many
factors that can undermine a teenager’s ability to build their self confidence,
factors ranging from academic issues, poor social interaction and dealing with
developing one’s own unique identity while trying to avoid the physical
awkwardness that puberty brings. The
constant internal struggles they face on daily basis are for us a distant
memory because we’ve forgotten what it was like to be their age.
Their
social circle has a great deal of influence in their lives with the approval
and feedback from peers often validating how they feel about themselves,
factors which they allow to determine their self esteem and self worth. It’s incredible how much impact this can
really have in the life of your teenager.
This can be concerning especially since adolescents are not always known
for their tact and empathy.
This
is why it’s of the utmost importance for your teenagers self esteem to be
nurtured and reinforced from within the home.
This will strengthen them to deal with the pitfalls of life out there in
the big wide world. This can come from
giving praise and attention from family members, in particular, parents.
Positive
and nurturing reinforcement in the home that is properly devised and enacted
will help to repair your teenagers self esteem, never underestimate the power
of love, just because your teenager knows that you love them doesn’t mean that
you shouldn’t show it. Such an approach can act as an effective hedge against
the factors that erode your teenager’s self esteem. While it is impossible to change the climate
teenagers must face, teenager’s self esteem can be improved through various
positive strategies designed to counteract the factors dragging them down.
