How to spot and stop low self-esteem in your child

Описание: You have a child gifted with a curious mind and a vibrant spirit, yet her journey is marked by the subtle but impactful influence of you as a parent; well-intentioned yet inadvertently damaging.

As your child grew through the delicate years of adolescence, you harbored high expectations for her success. Driven by their desire to see your child thrive, you unknowingly planted seeds of self-doubt in her tender heart. Every accolade came with a critique, and every accomplishment was overshadowed by the looming expectation of perfection.

Then the seeking approval and acceptance, internalized the constant stream of expectations sets in. Every test, every project, and every endeavor became a battleground for her self-worth. The unintentional consequences of her parents' high standards began to manifest as a nagging sense of not being "enough."

Yet she learned to wear a mask of perfection to hide her insecurities. Behind her radiant smile lay a sea of doubts and fears, carefully concealed from the prying eyes of her well-meaning parents. She felt an invisible weight on her shoulders, the burden of meeting expectations that seemed unattainable.

The gap between you and her widened as communication became a one-way street of expectations. The more she struggled to meet your standards, the less she felt understood. The disconnect led to a sense of isolation, intensifying the internal battle she fought daily.

With each criticism, her confidence shattered a little more. The once inquisitive and adventurous spirit began to retreat, replaced by a hesitant and self-conscious version of herself. The joy in her pursuits faded, overshadowed by the fear of falling short of her parents' expectations.

Sometimes you are wondering how do I even see this?

I am too busy being a parent!

What do I even do when I realize this unintentional impact of my actions, had taken on her self-esteem and knew it was time for a change.
