Such issues could be devastating to children since they could grow up to be timid or shy, reclusive or less sociable.

Adults should therefore be conscious about things that they manifest to children, since role-play is key to the growing up years of children, what they see in adults, they see in themselves. Self–esteem is important in children as it’s important among adults, since it’s helpful in helping them make sound decisions and fair judgment in the face of peer pressure, in the same way that adults deal with coping mechanisms in the face of adversity.

Self–esteem also makes children proud about being themselves and on things that they excel in, be it a skill or talent.

It’s what makes children gain acceptance among friends, compared to reclusive ones who shun off company and friends. Just like in adulthood, self–esteem is responsible for bringing about respect in an individual, so is the same with children.

One of the best manifestations of self-esteem among children is a sense of humor, since it bespeaks of confidence and self- acceptance that’s gauged by how they carry themselves in public or among a number of peers in a social group.

The sense of self-esteem among children is what helps them motivate to achieve more, not only because they crave for more attention or acceptance, but also they themselves would want to satisfy their inner conscience and feel good about themselves. A good self–esteem makes kids see things in a positive manner, makes them want to do more and always aspire to do the right things, that’s, with the proper guidance and examples that’s set before them.

As parents, always try to make it a point for their children to develop good self–esteem, because it’s what shapes them for the future.

So by now, you see the importance of self- esteem among adults and children.
