Help Your Child Recognize
Strengths, Boost Self-Esteem
Helping mentees recognize their strengths is a great way
to boost their self-esteem. Here are some simple ideas you might try:
- Keep
an accomplishments box. Cover a shoebox with colored
paper. Cut a hole in the top. Label the box with your mentee’s name.
Throughout the year, write down your mentee's accomplishments. Don’t wait
for the big things. Keep track of the smaller things, too. Around your
mentee's birthday, look through the box together. Have your mentee make a
list of everything she’s done.
- Send
family mail. Choose two days a month when
you will write your mentee a letter. You can write about anything. But it
will be best if you focus on the positive. Mail it to him.
- Play
"What’s in a name?" Go to the
library with your mentee. Do some research on the meaning of your mentee's name. Then create a project together that shows off what you’ve learned.
