The Shocking Consequences of Low Self Esteem in Boys

People who suffer from low self-esteem often feel helpless, powerless or even depressed. 
Those with low esteem may struggle to find joy and happiness in day-to-day life and not recognize their unique abilities, talents and skills.

If your child suffers from low self-esteem or if he is expressing a false sense of self esteem to mask feelings of weakness, he may not be recognizing his own good and unique qualities, traits or talents.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, low self-esteem can have devastating consequences, such as:

• Impaired academic and job performance

• Underachievement

• Increased vulnerability to drug and alcohol abuse

• Problems with friendships and relationships

Furthermore, low self-esteem can cause a person to become unproductive. 

The best defense against low self-esteem is daily action to identify and celebrate one's qualities, traits and talents that make them unique, special and worthy of love, respect and happiness.

Feeling good about yourself, or having good self esteem gives you a sense of control over your life. It also helps you to feel happy about yourself, your life and your relationships.

Do everything you can to help your child avoid the difficulties and challenges of living with low self-esteem.

Take action today to build and strengthen your child's self esteem.
