Self-Esteem

Healthy self-esteem is as important to success in school as it is to a rewarding life experience. While having a learning disability may pose some huge challenges to your child’s positive sense of self, there are ways you can foster and support the health of your child’s self-esteem.

Building Your Child's Self-Esteem

Emphasize your child's strengths. A sense of accomplishment and pride give children the confidence to persevere when they face challenges.
