A child?s self-concept is greatly influences by feedback from important people in their life, like teachers. If teachers validate children as valued and worthwhile people, they may more readily begin to view themselves in a positive way and feel good about individual capabilities. Children who have positive views of themselves are more successful in school and life.

As parents, we should look for and support teachers who demonstrate important qualities? and behavior such as:

• Seeking a genuine understanding of each child. Takes each child seriously and lets each child know that they are cared about. Demonstrates a genuine interest and an understanding of individual needs.
• Creates an atmosphere and environment which encourages learning and development.
• Talks to the child at their level. Eye contact is most important.
• Is consistent about expectations and guidance. Consistency develops dependability. Is positive, patient, calm and firm.
• Makes suggestions rather than gives commands. (Saves commands from emergencies.)
• Listens to a child?s explanation of how he or she feels. Accepts the right to have feelings.
• Is an encourager. Shares success, gives praise, shows understanding, and helps learning through discovery and failure.

Teachers can help children develop a positive view of themselves by helping them become successful at tasks and maintain positive, loving relationships. We as parents can make a real difference in our children?s lives by developing a partnership with teachers where the goal is to help our children succeed.
