5 Tips: How To Build Your Child's Self-Esteem

1. Make time to communicate. "How did school go today? What did you learn?"

2. Continue to expect an increase in accomplishment. "It looks like a tough assignment, but with all that you accomplished so far, I know you can do it."

3. Positive and constructive criticism.  "Great job! This project has many great ideas. You might want to arrange your thoughts a bit more, though."

4. Compare your child's progress to his/her own record.  "Don't worry about the grades your friends received on a test. It is about YOUR achievement."

5. Patience and tolerance matter. "You seem discouraged. Let's go over your mistakes together so you can do better next time."
