The family is the first and the most important contributing factor to positive identity and self-esteem. In the preschool years, children spend most of their time with family, especially grandparents. According to Grandparents.com, 72% of grandparents take care of their grandchildren on a regular basis. Families can provide a nurturing environment where children feel safe and secure, are provided basic needs (food, clothing, and shelter), and give/receive love. The family can also provide opportunities for the children to try new things to grow and develop to maturity.

For more background information on Erikson’s Theory of Socialization, please refer to Education and Training lesson "A Look at Theories: Part II" at http://cte.sfasu.edu/lesson-plans/a-look-at-theories-part-ii/ Erik Erikson’s (1902-1994) theory emphasized that conscious choice determines behavior as much as the unconscious instinctual drives. He saw development as a process through which people pass in their lifelong search for a mature sense of identity. This process moves people through a sequence of tasks, each focused on a particular aspect of identity.

Erikson viewed development as continuing over the entire life span; whereas, Freud described development only through puberty. Both theories agree that development is the result of a child’s instincts interacting with his or her environment. Stages cannot be satisfactorily completed unless the environment responds in a conductive, consistent manner. Any unresolved issues from earlier stages will carry over into later stages and negatively affect an individual’s ability to resolve them. It is this collection of unresolved issues that leads to an abnormal or deviant personality in later life.

It’s often been said that children learn what they live. If parents are looking for a place to start helping a child build positive self-esteem and self-value, then they should show their own positive sense of self and strong self-esteem. Be positive when you speak about yourself and highlight your strengths.

Building a Self-Esteem
Surround yourself with people and things that
you love
Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2013. All rights reserved.
12
Why is it important to surround yourself with people and things that you love? What do you love? Who do you love? Parents need to tell their children everyday that they love them. Children need to understand what unconditional love is. Even though the child might disappoint the parent or exhibit bad choices and behaviors, the parent will still love them, unconditionally. How can a parent show the child that kind of love?

Children with a disability often have a difficult time feeling good about themselves. The fact that their bodies and brains do not work the same as everyone else, is a contributing factor. They may develop a low self-esteem or a “can’t do” attitude. Parents and caregivers have an important job to help boost a special needs child’s self-esteem: • Give emotion, energy and time to the positive things the child does well instead of always
focusing on the negative. • Find something that the child enjoys participating in or reading about. What is a special
interest they might have? Become involved with it and encourage them to be active in their special interest.
• Special needs children can handle chores which are appropriate with their disability. Develop a chart with reward stickers and award a sticker when the child completes the chore. This will give them a sense of accomplishment and will help build their self-esteem.
• Understand the Special Education language and select the best educational path for the child. Do what is best for the child when placing them in classes.
• Parents are the contributing factors of building their child’s self-esteem. Turn the TV off, put the cellphones and other electronic devices away and spend quality time with your child.

The following are common outcomes of abuse or neglect in school-age children: Social - The child may feel inferior, incapable, and unworthy around other children; may have difficulty making friends, feel overwhelmed by peer expectations for performance, may withdraw from social contact, and may be used as a scapegoat by peers. Emotional - The child may experience damage to self-esteem from degrading or punitive messages from an abusive parent or lack of positive attention in a neglectful environment.
