Positive Self-Concept Development in Young Children

Positive self-concept development is crucial for young children as it lays the foundation for their confidence, resilience, and overall well-being. A child’s self-concept, which refers to their perception of themselves, including their abilities, strengths, and worth, begins to form in the early years and is significantly influenced by their interactions and experiences. Nurturing a positive self-concept in children is essential for their emotional and social development, and it sets the stage for a fulfilling and successful life. This course explores the key aspects of self-concept development in young children and offers strategies for educators, caregivers, and parents to support this critical aspect of growth. (2 hours)
