I can support a child's positive self esteem by creating a safe enviroment where they can express their feelings and be heard. Have their opinions valued and respected. And by providing a warm and welcoming enviroment.

Lead by example. Let the kids see you that you confident but also let them see that you make mistakes and learn from them. when they show you something they are proud of you need to show them that they are also proud of them. when they are upset show them its ok to feel that was and offer advice on how to manage and express those feelings appropriately

There are so many ways to support a child's self esteem. Supporting them and all of their interests and abilities is great, verbally acknowledging their accomplishments, acknowledging and redirecting negative emotions they might have about themselves. Modeling respect for oneself and others is very important

I support children's self esteem by creating a safe environment for them to work within, and by valuing the children I work with. I express this by giving positive feedback that respects their opinions, their autonomy, and their individuality.

Be positive! Let them know it is okay to be sad or upset but to try and think positive.

I like to be a support for the child and show that they can complete a task. They may need help at first but later after they realize they can now do it themselves, gives them a great deal of self-esteem. Making children feel important and valued while helping them understand their capabilities. Recognize achievements and give them praise.

Help support their self esteem by giving them age and level appropriate activities, help them to be successful in things that may be a bit above their level, have a positive and loving environment,

Praise them and get excited when they accomplish a goal. Talk positively about them and with them "Tommy, you built a tower with five blocks! Great job"

To support a child's developing self-esteem, I would create a safe environment for them and this would include my attitude towards them at any given time such as showing value for them even when they make mistakes. Other ways include leading by example by being positive, provide encouraging words when they are feeling bad and using negative language, and show respect for their ideas and thoughts.

Being personally enthusiastic is something I try to model -- the idea that I can pass on a positive attitude about trying something new or a difficult task, and that self-esteem can build even if several attempts are made to complete a task (building a tower, etc.) before it's a success.

Helping children develop their self esteem can be supported by making sure the children feel comfortable in the classroom. Motivating and praising children when they are doing well in the classroom can help the children feel better about themselves.

As an art specialist, I support self-esteem by engaging in positive and reaffirmative dialogue about the child’s art. I model positive conversations with my own art, then encourage and help them in finding ways to do the same with their own work.

Self esteem in children can be modeled by the adults that care for them. Be positive. Listen and redirect any negative self labeling. Make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Show respect by being respectful of them and others.

As they grow up, children need to know that they are cherished, loved, and valued. Without this it will be hard to nurture a healthy self-esteem. I would make sure that the child knows that he or she is valued and I care for them. I will take time to listen to their stories and ideas and hopes. Encouraging those ideas and hopes is also a very important part! Most importantly, I would try to be a model to the children by being positive and staying away from negative remarks.

To support children's growing self esteem, I try to create a safe and loving environment that allows the child to express themselves freely and that allows them to make mistake without punishment. I also try my best to model the behavior I want children to develop, for example: communicating respectfully with peers and the children, showing kindness, having a positive attitude and using positive language. I also try my best to give the children recognition or positive feedback when I see them doing or saying something kind or correct.

I best support a child's self esteem by listening to them, by validating their feelings and offering them language around how they may be feeling. I lead with love rather than punishment/fear, and try my best to foster a sense of curiosity and experimentation and learning rather than an environment of, "If you mess up you will be bad!"

I find that my students, because they are bilingual, do tend to get more frustrated since I do not speak their primary language. I find other ways to communicate and praise them when they figure it out. It is not important for them to say the english word back yet, it is important that we figured out what we are both trying to say. Both of us get our self esteem boosted without speaking the same language. It's a win-win. Later they will be able to speak it back to me.
