Re:self-esteem issues - 2008/03/13 19:20
Your daughter needs to realize she's beautiful! She definitely needs a confidence boost. She must be struggling with self-image issues. What you can do is be very positive and always remind her of her good qualities. If this kind of negative thinking persists, it would be beneficial for her if you let her speak with a counselor or therapist. She is still young and her self-image issues can definitely be treated. If not, these issues can actually grow to become even heavier (they can develop into eating disorders, depression, or self-harm). It could help too if she feels constantly appreciated. The negative mindset which may come with her self-image issues needs positive reassurance in order to fight against it. Your patience and understanding will be needed as well. With your positive care and concern, you can get your daughter to begin to see the glass as half full. Take a look at this article, it may be helpful:
