Nurture your child's self-esteem. A child with a good sense of self is happier, more well-adjusted, and does better in school ("Edutopia," 2011). Strategies for fostering self-esteem include giving your child responsibilities, allowing her to make age-appropriate choices, and showing your appreciation for a job well done ("Edutopia," 2011).
