Self-esteem, Self-image and Self-concept, Part 1
What is self-esteem, self-image and self-concept?
- Self-esteem is the feelings we have about ourselves.
- Self-image is the picture we have of ourselves in our mind.
- Self-concept is what we think about ourselves.
The way to improve our success in life is to improve our thoughts, image and feelings. As adults, we have the power to affect those children’s self-esteem, self-image and self-concept.
Yesterday morning when I was in bed, I heard a mother screaming at her child, “You split milk all over the place. You f***ing child. What the h*** were you thinking? …. Who gives a f*** if you are sorry”
My heart broke for that child. What kind of self-image do you think he will have? As parents and caregivers, we do make an impact on our children. What kind of an impact do you want to make?
Oprah Winfrey’s grandmother saw in Oprah talent for talking. She had her reciting scripture at church before she was in kindergarten.
Tiger Wood’s dad saw in him a talent for golf. At age 2 he put him in a tournament for boys 10 and under. Tiger won.
Bill Gates, mother was part of the Lake Side Mother’s Club that raised money to get a computer at his school in 1967. Bill was in the 7th grade. In the 8th grade, he was paid to be a computer programmer.
Grandmother, dad or mother we have the power to shape our children’s lives. What will you commit to do today to help your child’s self-esteem, self-image and self-concept improve?

Well said. It matters so much that we give our children a the right environment to develop self-esteem, self-image and a healthy self-concept. There are lots of good books available and here is a new innovative method that really works. Developed in Denmark, this method uses stories combined with relaxation therapy to create an environment for children where self esteem and the feeling of self worth can be nurtured and strengthened.

So very true, as AnnaMarie states, whether parent or even grandparent, we are not only well-positioned to aid and guid our children through the stages of developing self-esteem and worth, it is our genuine mission. As a brand-new grandparent, I hope to stand alongside my family in nurturing the best self-image of my new grandaughter, as well as assisting her to view the world in light of her developing talents.
Thanks so much
