But as children grow older and begin thinking about the world in more complex ways, they also become more self-critical. Alarmingly, studies show that self-esteem, for many children, takes a sharp drop starting around age eight, and this decline continues into the early teen years. So, how can you turn the tide on this upsetting trend and help your child build genuine self-esteem?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this guide, you'll learn that self-esteem isn't about telling kids they're \"special.\" It's about helping them embrace the freedom that comes with a \u003ci\u003equiet ego\u003c\/i\u003e--a way of being in the world that isn't preoccupied with self-judgment, and instead embraces a compassionate view of oneself and others that allows for both present awareness and personal growth. When kids are less focused on evaluating and comparing themselves with others, they are freer to empathize with others, embrace learning, and connect with the values that are bigger than themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll also discover how your child's fundamental needs for \u003ci\u003econnection\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ecompetence\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003echoice\u003c\/i\u003e are essential for real self-esteem. Connection involves building meaningful and satisfying relationships that create a sense of belonging. Competence means building tangible skills. And choice is about being able to make decisions, figure out what matters, and choose to act in ways that are consistent with personal values. When children are able to fulfill these three basic needs, the question of \"Am I good enough?\" is less likely to come up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your child is suffering from low self-esteem, you need a nuanced parenting approach. Let this book guide you as you help your child create unshakeable confidence and lasting well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEileen Kennedy-Moore, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, is a clinical psychologist based in Princeton, NJ, and mom of four.
