Children are influenced by parents, and people whom they look up to and it is said that media influences kids just as much as parents, educators, and professionals do. Today’s youth face many problems, because of how media portrays sex, body image, and appearance. This causes children to hide their true personality and become ashamed of whom they are. This can ultimately lead to lack of confidence and, low self esteem in children.
Low self esteem can affect a child from reaching their full potential and, affects their performance in school as well as, in social groups. Children k-6, are at risk the most because it is through this age that kids start to build a healthy and strong self esteem and, children throughout this age range are also a lot more vulnerable to judgment.
Children are the foundation to a healthy and, happy environment. With strong and confident individuals, the world will be a better place. I believe good principals of confidence should be taught to children because, if the children of our nation are confident in themselves they’ll be able to reach their full potential, and they’ll also be able to confront and surpass the conflicts that life faces them with. Children should be our main concern when it comes to making a better world because, children are our future.
