Developing Self-Concept in Children

To develop a wonderful self-concept in a child, one first needs to define the meaning of the wonderful self concept. When we define the bright self concept, the child can be transformed into a person of high self-esteem. The child must have positive and optimistic self-schemas, which connect together to form a wonderful self-concept.

A person with a wonderful self-concept must know his own worth and be grateful for being "himself." On the other hand there should be no arrogance or bias in that person. To develop a wonderful self concept in a child there are a number of things that can be adopted.

Parents and guardians play the most important role in developing the concept of self-child. They must be fully aware that both their actions, their words and their gestures act as a message to the child. Children are not limited to imitating parents in all their work, but to look at them in order to recognize them. To develop the concept of positive self parents must be demanding, reliable, supportive and supportive. All of these things will certainly enhance the child's confidence, leading to a better self-concept.

We can take an example to explain this:

There is an X child who is always cheerful and excited about all things. However, every now and then something breaks in the house, makes noise or forgets to do his homework. For each of his mistakes, his parents told him that "you are a very bad child, you do not do anything at all and always embarrass us." Every time a child listens to this, his self-esteem will decrease. He will begin to feel that he is failing in everything he does and he is the source of unhappiness. However, if the same child is treated in a different way, it will have a different effect on his self-esteem. As if the child was told, "I know you're a good student, you always get stars on your books, so why are you funny and forget about homework, we definitely need more stars, do not we?"

Cheerleading is a very important aspect of developing a wonderful self concept. The child should be encouraged to take initiatives, explore new things, try to learn and do the things he wants. In this way the child will learn confidence in his abilities, and feel confident in making decisions and choices. As the child learns praise for his success, he must also be able to deal with failures. Teaching this can even begin from small board games played by children at home. If they are lost, they should not be angry or upset about it. But they must recognize the winner, with all their efforts to win the next game. This will develop a sense of competition in the child. The child will learn to fight and work hard to succeed. The ultimate success will enhance the self-confidence of the child to a large extent, leading to a better appreciation of self and self-concept.

While the child learns to trust his abilities, to deal with success and failure, the child must also learn to relate to the culture that surrounds him. Culture is an important part of social identity, and it adopts the concept of self in a major way. The child must learn adaptation, adaptation and adjustment in the cultural environment. To be proud of the culture of the individual and society also has a good influence on the concept of self-child. However, the concept of brilliant self entitles a person to be grateful for his possessions and to be also liberal and appreciates the beliefs and traditions of others.

Parents should introduce their children into the literature, art and customs of the culture in which they live. Let them explore it in an appreciative way. In this way, this child will adopt his or her social roles in a better and more effective manner.

When the child feels important and needed, while when needed, he is critically criticized and a demanding environment, he will grow up to be self-reliant, optimistic and happy.
