A child with good self-esteem is basically a superhero child. Yes, you read correctly, he is a superhero because he can achieve everything. It is not that I never make mistakes; on the contrary, it means that when you commit them you have a resistance system that makes you learn from them and move on. Now, self-esteem is something that is formed throughout the lived experiences. In other words, nobody is born with high or low self-esteem, it is simply formed throughout the acceptance and valuation of oneself. Every mother knows the impact that stimulating and encouraging children has, and how it helps them grow and prosper. This is so important that National Stimulus Day is celebrated on September 12, with the aim of raising awareness.

The encouragement or encouragement is much more powerful and consistent than the reward. That is, the child will develop knowing that the motivation is within herself and will not need an external object to feel motivated.
