Helping Your Child be Successful at School
Your Child's Self-Esteem
Why Self-Esteem Matters
"Kids who feel good about themselves have the confidence to try new things. They are more likely to try their best. They feel proud of what they can do. Self-esteem helps kids cope with mistakes. It helps kids try again, even if they fail at first. As a result, self-esteem helps kids do better at school, at home, and with friends." (KidsHealth)
