Believing in oneself is very essential. This not only gives confidence but also helps in moulding one’s behavior. The people who believe in themselves are termed ‘winners’.

The people who do not believe in themselves have low esteem and little respect. They are never sure about their actions and decisions. They are oversensitive and blame others for things going wrong. A productive, positive comment like ‘good try’, ‘doing better each time’, ‘has shown improvement’ etc would bring confidence and would also persuade the child to believe in himself.

Here are some tips for the teachers and parents to develop healthy esteem in their children:

  1. Show your child that he is an important person by treating him with respect.
  2. Accept and love your children the way they are. Love your child regardless of his misbehavior. This does not mean that you love him for his misbehavior “I love you. But I do not like what you did”. This will let your child know that you love him but did not like the misbehavior.
  3. Show that you have faith and confidence in them. Encouragement will help them in facing the situations confidently.
  4. Do not do things for your children that they can do for themselves. This overprotective behavior of yours will make them feel insecure and lazy. Also they will take things for granted.
  5. Teach your child to accept his weaknesses along with his strengths, as nobody is perfect and with experience the perfection comes.
  6. Teach your children to work upon their weaknesses and make their strengths stronger.
  7. Teach your children to overcome disappointments, as they are a part of life and will make us strong.
  8. Teach your children to appreciate reasons for life, reason for relationship, to go to school, to work, etc. If one reason fails, there are others to keep you going.

Here is a story with a moral behind to shape the personality:

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting it into the box.

“There are 5 things you need to know, “before I send you out into the world. ( he told the pencil). Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be.

You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.

You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.

You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.

On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter  what the condition, you must continue to write.”

The pencil understood and promised to remember and went into the box with a purpose in its heart.

Now apply the same rules to yourself and you will become the best person you can be.

You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand and allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.

You will be able to correct any mistake you might make.

The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.

On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose for which  you were born. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and you cannot make a change!
