Self-appreciation is a very important trait in human being. When you have done something of which you are proud, self appreciation appears to be the automatic outcome. This is the way it should be. Unfortunately, this does not happen in some people. Lack of self-appreciation is a trait that develops early in life. It is easy for a child to have a low opinion of himself. This results from lack of self-appreciation.

The good news is that you can teach your child how to appreciate the positive things that he does. You only need to pay attention to what the child is doing. Then when your feel he has done something good, be there to complement him.
