Today, the Shallom Family had an inspiring mentorship and breakfast session at Thika Children's Rescue Center. The Breakfast And Mentorship session was aimed at Inspiring Hope among Children Under Care and protection, with special Focus on Building their Self - Esteem.
Early childhood is a critical period for the development of self-esteem. Caregivers, parents, and the surrounding environment play significant roles in shaping a child's self-perception and promoting positive self-esteem during these formative years. This Breakfast meeting emphasised on ways the children can boost their personal Self Esteem, such as:
1. Celebrating their small achievements
2. Practicing self-care routines eg: Taking a shave,taking a bath,brushing your teeth,Wearing clean and smart clothes etc.
3. Helping others especially their peers.
4. Practicing positive self-talk
5. Developing problem-solving skills
6. Seeking help and support when needed
7. Embracing mistakes as learning opportunities
Boosting self-esteem is an ongoing process, and it is important to encourage children to be intentional about Building their Self Esteem while they are young!
