Low self-esteem in adolescents, an aspect that can be controlled with proper family education

Greetings again my dear friends, I hope you are all well and in the company of your loved ones, especially those who make up your family, and when we talk about family, we refer to our most precious asset for which we do so many things in order to provide the greatest support in every way, and the greatest support, no doubt should always come from your family, because with the family you share many things and where all kinds of emotions are exposed.

Emotions are an intrinsic part of human beings and expressing them is normal, however, on many occasions at a certain age, usually adolescence, we may find it difficult to do so, and that is the vital importance of all family members to worry and take care to help that family member to improve that aspect, especially it is the duty of parents, family education covers all those aspects that provides psychological balance to the youngest members of the family.

When we are united in the family we are all attentive to the welfare of each other, and if we notice that something is not working properly, then, we are given the task of looking for the causes that originate some misbehavior of a family member, generally adolescence is the stage of greatest rebellion through which people pass, and in it there are many changes, and these lead to affect the self-esteem of the teenagers of the family, when we are parents we already have an idea about this because we have gone through that stage.

Therefore, when we notice that our teenagers do not make an adequate assessment of themselves, then, we must turn on our alarms and go to their aid, for which the main causes may be the following:

• Showing insecurity about their body is one of the most common aspects when we go through this stage, it is important to maintain communication with them and provide them with information about it, and inform them in the best way that as they grow up they will experience changes, and these changes have to internalize them since they may not like some of them, but it is part of learning in life, especially girls, beauty should be radical in personality beyond their physical appearance.

• Influence of their peers, many believe that when they reach this age they can do whatever they want and7 place themselves on a par with their parents, and their parents, do not allow them to behave in this way may be for it objects of ridicule by their peers, both for them and their peers is necessary to make them understand that everything has its time, and then as an adult we want rather paralyze the rhythm d life, therefore, divert any external pressure that family teenagers may have.

• Pressure in the school environment, many times we are so busy that without realizing it we leave our children adrift with their school work and if their performance is low, then we blame them for it, it is a shared task and if we work together we can all win, the important thing is the proper planning of our activities in order to support our children with their academic obligations, at least in the early years of adolescence.

• Excessive comparison with other young people, this should always be avoided, it is important that we never make comparisons with the attitudes of other young people, we are not all equal, therefore, we must know how to exploit the virtues of our children to help correct some of their weaknesses.

• The negative effect of conflicting couples is to highlight the family education, since this guarantees the emotional or psychological stability of the children, many couples make the mistake of seeing as normal the arguments in front of their children, and generally cause low self-esteem in their children, since the role models for them are not emotionally stable.

When we are interested in the good development of our family we are attentive to correct any aspect that endangers the stability of the family, before acting it is always necessary to think things through and even more so if it is about the emotional future of our children, all this is a fundamental part of their education in the family.

Until another opportunity my dear friends.
