Working on self-esteem

Love begins with knowing how to love oneself. Giving children the tools to love and respect themselves is complex but it will help them a lot in their future life. Here are some keys and ideas to work on self-esteem in the classroom:

  • Dynamics to promote self-esteem: well-known games such as the magic jar (where children can enter notes explaining how they feel) or the hot seat (where everyone sits down and lets their classmates tell them a positive quality) are classics for a reason: they always work.
  • Motivate: it is important to encourage children and help them to tolerate their frustrations. Tell your students when they do things right, always remember positive reinforcement.
  • It promotes self-knowledge: we are all the same but different. Learning to know oneself is fundamental to be at ease with oneself and, therefore, with others.
  • Talk to the family: this is a fundamental step in general, the people responsible for the education of children are both parents and educators and therefore must work as a team.
  • Avoid labels: nobody is just one thing or another, we are complex and nuanced. Our character is made up of millions of factors and experiences, so it is important to avoid labels.
