Child Self Concept
Quite
simply, child self concept is how a child sees themselves.
A child's self concept encompasses not only their physical
appearance, but also how they interact in social situations,
how they think, their moods and their decision making abilities.
A child with a healthy self concept is more likely to smile
more frequently, be optimistic about life, resist negative
peer pressure and handle conflicts easier. On the other hand,
a child with an unhealthy self concept can be pessimistic,
withdraws from social interactions, can become depressed
and cannot deal with problems without feeling a high level
of anxiety and frustration. Instilling a strong, positive
self concept in a child is paramount to having a child that
is confident and secure in their abilities, no matter what
situation they find themselves in. As a parent, grandparent,
aunt, uncle, teacher or coach there is nothing you should
want more than to give your child the armor they need to
face this uncertain world; a healthy self concept.
 But how exactly do you foster a healthy self concept in
a child? The easiest way is to always give the child opportunities
to succeed at various tasks. When giving a child a task
such as getting dressed or cleaning their room, allow them
the freedom to decide how to approach it. Encourage them
to solve problems on their own and never nit-pick their mistakes.
This can be effective for a lot of children, but sometimes
a child needs more than just a traditional pat on the back
to develop a healthy self concept.
BoostKids is a CD-ROM based program that teaches children
how to develop social skills, self esteem and a positive
self concept. The program has four main components: the BoostKids
CD-ROM, BoostKids activity book and BoostKids Practice Cards
and two sets of audio CDs, one for kids and one for parents.
It offers interactive lessons that infuse real-life situations
with real-life solutions. It's great for anyone who is looking
to improve a child's self concept, but doesn't really know
how.
It is important to help your child achieve a feeling of
accomplishment in order to better nurture their self concept.
When a child completes a task on their own, they experience
a sense of pride, which is energy that can transfer into
anything else they do. It can spread into other parts of
their lives and give them the confidence they need to reach
their full potential. After completing the BoostKids program,
your child will have a feeling of accomplishment that will
ultimately contribute to their positive self concept. They
will be revitalized with a taste of success.
 The
program's four parts work together and reinforce the social
skills and confidence that can improve a child's self concept.
The CD-ROM shows short video clips of children acting out
various social interactions in both the right and wrong way.
This will not only make it easier for your child to understand
proper social behavior, it will also make it easier for them
to implement the correct behavior into their everyday lives.
The BoostKids activity book expands upon the information
taught on the CD-ROM with fun activities and quizzes, which
will help your child identify which areas of the program
they are excelling at and which ones they are having trouble
understanding. The BoostKids practice cards are great for
helping you have an open dialog with your children about
their new skills and have mock situations for you and your
child to act out together so they can practice their new
skills. The overall benefits of what they learn from the
program have endless possibilities and will help your child
create a self concept that will lead them to success in whatever
they decide to do.
One of the best aspects of the BoostKids program is its
versatility. This program is great for shy kids that have
a hard time socializing or kids without any social problems
that are looking to improve their self to increase their
potential. It teaches life skills that can be useful for
anybody. Any child can use the program to reinforce their
self concept in a positive manner.
