How can i help my 6 year old son with self-esteem?

One thing I learned in life is that self-esteem and a good attitude are very, very important. I do not want my son to feel like I used to as a child. Does anyone have ideas?

Giving him some kind of responsibilty will help, make sure its not too much for him to handle. When a child accomplishes something, they end up with a sense of worth. Do you have pets? If he can take care of a creature of some kind that depends on him, he'll feel needed. Be sure to help him out and guide him. Don't leave it all up to him. Remember to reward the good behaviour, what you focus on is what you will reinforce. Even if he doesn't get it right all the time, commend him on what he did do right. It's all about how he sees himself, and he will mirror that from you. 6 yr olds are a lot smarter than we think, they deserve to be able to grow and get the credit for it. Good luck!

Well make sure how he is doing in school his peers are going to be the ones who lower or increase his self-esteem.
