Adolescence is a difficult period, turbulent for the child who stops being such to start in a more mature world. It is a very delicate period in which parents have to be present to guide our children on this winding path. Setting limits and reinforcing kids' self-esteem are 2 good things we can do.
I have found a short video on Youtube It seems to me that it touches a key key so that all of us, adults and adolescents, can increase our self-esteem a little more.
It is about us learning to comply with those we propose, that we put excuses aside. It's about respecting our goals. If you propose something, go for it or you will be disrespecting yourself:

In this article we are going to focus on reinforce self-esteem in adolescence. I leave you some tips that can help families in this task.
1) Sincere communication.
It is through communication with our children that we are going to offer our support. Learn above all to listen, to be patient and to know how to give the advice that your children need to hear.
Good communication between parents and children is key to this process of trying to increase self-esteem in adolescence. Adolescents often "look down on" their parents. It is the task of parents to know how to earn the trust of this new person that has appeared in your home.
2) New limits have to be established.
A teenager without limits, without rules or norms to comply with is a teenager who is lost and who will end up frustrated and with his self-esteem on the ground.
3) Group sports promote self-esteem.
Playing football or rhythmic gymnastics are just two examples of sports in which you interact with your peers in a healthy way.
4) Provide challenging and challenging challenges.
Do you like to spend all day on the computer? Suggest that they blog and you will get rewards based on the results.
Do you like to spend all day with video games? Come up with a video game that stimulates their creativity. Not everything is going to be shots 🙂 Part of the time they dedicate to the console must be dedicated to progress in this creative video game.
5) Knowing how to slow down.
Many parents tend to tighten the nuts before the sudden changes that occur in the adolescent stage. This can also be counterproductive.
The adolescent feels that he or she needs great freedom to realize all the world of possibilities that is open to him or her. Parents, on the other hand, tend to harshly restrict their new acquired freedom. This can have risks on the adolescent's self-esteem. We have said that you have to set limits but not suffocate. The middle of things is right.
6) Be careful with friends.
At this time, friends are the most important thing for teenagers, but be careful. Sometimes teenagers get "trapped" in a circle of friends that undermine their self-esteem. Offering them all our support and even changing environments, doing new activities so that they meet new kids may be the solution.
7) Care in schools or institutes.
Surely you want the best for your children, that they grow up in a suitable environment that enhances their self-esteem, the best of themselves. Choose a suitable school that meets these goals.
8) The house must be a safe environment.
Safety is something the adolescent has to feel. Know that there is someone who loves you unconditionally. The home should provide this security so that the adolescent feels supported and protected.
9) Spend time with our children.
The fact that they have become teenagers does not mean that we cannot do activities together: play sports, go for a walk or go out to dinner with the whole family. Putting our worries and obligations aside to spend time with our children is something that their self-esteem will thank us for.
10) Avoid isolation within the home.
The house is a place to share: joys, sorrows, achievements, emotions. Lunch and dinner are sacred. They must be familiar and without television in the background. It is the parents' obligation to create the right environment for a pleasant, fluent, pleasant, sincere and calm communication.
