About this Course

A strong sense of self-esteem is essential to a child's emotional, social, and developmental success. The experiences children have with family members, caregivers, teachers, and peers play a significant role in shaping their self-worth, confidence, and resilience. As early childhood professionals, caregivers have a unique opportunity to nurture positive self-esteem and help children develop a healthy sense of identity. This course explores the factors that influence self-esteem in young children, with a focus on the important relationship between family interactions and a child's developing self-concept. Participants will examine both the physical and psychological causes of low self-esteem, learn to recognize indicators that a child may be struggling with self-worth, and gain practical strategies for promoting confidence and emotional well-being. Learners will discover engaging activities and developmentally appropriate practices that encourage self-expression, independence, problem-solving, and positive self-image. The course also highlights the critical role caregivers play in creating supportive, affirming environments that foster resilience, celebrate individual strengths, and promote a sense of belonging. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State ​Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
