Question

true or false helping a child too much will not have any consequence to a child's self esteem.

This is for my assessment in child care.

Answer 1

False. If you help them too much, they will not develop confidence in their own abilities. Parents should be there when they are needed but should give children plenty of room to feel the benefits of accomplishing goals on their own. This increases the child's self-esteem. They also need to learn not to be afraid of failure or depressed by failure. They need to be prepared to deal with failure in a healthy way in order to minimize the negative effects on self-esteem.

Answer 2

You're question is worded in a confusing way, nevertheless, the bset thing you can teach a child is self reliance. Show them how something is done, and have them (without dangerous consequences), learn right from wrong, and explain those choices. Sheltering and "babying" is detrimental and mostly a sign of an insecure parent or caregiver, using their own motives, and not having the capacity to serve in the best interest of a child.

Answer 3

FALSE.
A child's self-esteem depends a lot on how well it is able to solve problems independently.

Of course, when beginning any new subject for the first time, we need to give the child active and sustained support. Gradually we need to ease off, and be available when needed.

Like a sea-gull that pushes its young one out of the nest, but is hovering around to see its fledgling learn to fly, parents need to be there , ready to help when the child needs help. Slowly but surely, the child gets more and more self-esteem as it is able to solve problems on its own. Thus, each success reinforces its self-esteem, WHICH again makes it do better and better in performance!

Answer 4

You would have to define too much. But yes in excess it can be detrimental as they will not develop the ability to problem solve on their own which can have a negative effect on their self esteem.

Answer 5

False. It's important to teach the child to be confident, but self reliant.
