Confidence & Self-Esteem

Media, especially social media, can have a negative impact on kids’ self-esteem.

Positive reinforcement and helping kids acquire skills can help lay the foundation for confidence and strong self-esteem.

Kids with learning differences or mental health disorders often have lower self-esteem than their peers, but parents can help them build confidence.
