The Power Of Raising Kids With Self-esteem

While I was growing up, many of us always taught humility means downplaying our strength. When we are being complemented by someone for our looks, talents or intelligence, we always love to talk down like it is nothing, we say something like, "I'm not that great", "It's nothing'.

Let us be real to ourselves, there is no humility in you denying your worth. You are just dressing up low self-esteem with the cloth of modesty.

You don't have to shrink yourself to proof that you are humble. Humility is about knowing your value and carrying it with grace. And as parents if we want our kids to live an empowered and fulfilling lives, we no train the way that they have self-esteem, self-respect and self-awareness. These are qualities that lead to self-mastery and all round success in life.

When your children grow up without a strong sense of self-awareness, they will often mistake confidence for arrogance. They will see someone who walks with his or head high, who embraces their unique nature, talking with conviction and they will be like, "They are full of themselves".

But the truth is that confidence is not about thinking you are better than others, it is about being sure and secured of who you are as a person. A confident person would not have to dim his light just to make others comfortable. On the other side of the coin, timidity is not humility. If you are constantly saying to yourself that you are not good enough and you shy away from opportunities, that is not you being virtuous, it is just a sign of self-doubt that is holding you back.

When you raise your kids to have self-esteem, you are teaching them to embrace their strength and acknowledge their weakness without shame. You are to let them know that they are worthy enough just as they are, it is doesn't matter if they are rocking a bold outfit or just by being kind. Self-respect comes from showing to respect themselves and to know how to set boundaries.

They have to know how to stand up for themselves with kindness. When they are self-aware of themselves, it helps them they know their emotions and what triggers them, ans this helps discover how to manage them in the life where things are unpredictable. They need to have the strength of building a skill, being kind, making thoughtful choices, and bouncing back from thier failures in life.

Just imagine a child who grows up thinking they are enough. They have already realized that you don't have to boast or make fun of others to feel good about themselves. That is a gift of self-mastery, the one no amount of money can buy. Your money can buy you a car or a house, but only self-esteem builds a life of purpose, joy and fulfillment.

So, parents it is time to prioritize raising kids who are so in love with themselves without apology. You have to encourage them to always celebrate their unique nature and steeze and aura. Let them know that confidence is a major strength and not a flaw, that what is called true humility is all about knowing your worth while lifting others at thesame time.

In the nurturing of self-esteem, we are not just raising our kids, we are raising adults who will change the world oneday.
