Self-esteem, what is it?

Self-esteem is a psychological concept which represents the judgment of a person towards himself, whether positive or negative.

Self-esteem depends on many internal and external factors: intellectual skills, education, environment...

Good self-esteem means that the person has awareness of one's strengths, but also of his weaknesses, no problem! Low self-esteem means that the person is not sufficiently aware of their strengths and focuses mainly on their weaknesses.

To have good self-esteem, you must first of all with a good self-knowledge ! It is by exploring activities, by testing things, that one can identify one's strengths and areas of expertise.

Why is self-esteem important?

With a good self-esteem, the child can easily express what he feels, his emotions, his ideas, he will dare to make choices, take risks and be more creative ! His relationships with others will also be easier, he will make friends faster and he will trust more easily. A good self-esteem will allow children to become fulfilled and accomplished adults! In everyday life, at school, at work, self-esteem allows us to be comfortable with others and in society: speaking in front of a group, defending our ideas, taking decisions and taking risks . Everything is connected: the more important the self-esteem, the more we dare to take risks, the more self-esteem grows, it's a virtuous circle! On the contrary, poor self-esteem limits decision-making and risks, it can lead to complicated relationships with others and can be the cause of real discomfort. Self-esteem is fragile, it is essential to give importance to it from an early age.
