Self-esteem in childhood

Your sister is concerned that her 10-year-old son may be suffering from low self-esteem. To try to help him
improve his confidence, she has been making a conscious effort to praise him as much as possible. In fact,
yesterday you heard her tell him, “Great job on your spelling test! You may have only gotten a D, but that is
really good considering that you didn’t study much.” Based on your knowledge of self-esteem in childhood,
critique your sister’s approach to dealing with her son’s self-esteem issues. What advice can you give your
sister concerning effective strategies to increase a child’s self-esteem?
