Self-esteem and forming of the child’s personal boundaries in the parenting process

Abstract

Education should establish a balance between firmness and respect for children to have proper self-esteem. It often happens that when there is discipline, there is no respect, which lowers the self-esteem of the child. When there is respect, there is no discipline. Respectable discipline is possible, but only if the parents accept the child’s feelings, so that they know and understand that their own child and his needs. In return, the child opens up to the contact with the parents and willingly accepts borders given by the parents. A parent becomes a child’s guide.
