Children are very vulnerable to abuse, children who are confident and have high self esteem are less like to be vulnerable to abuse.

“Self-esteem and solid character are learned; therefore, you can teach them. By
creating environments that engender security and develop strength, educators
can help students acquire the feelings needed to build self-esteem and strong
character.” (http://www.theseus.fi/bitstream/hand...onen_Pinja.pdf)

Self esteem is the way children feel about themselves and it is reflected from their from their behaviour
and appearance
children self confidence and self esteem may be damages if negative unput is received
• Be positive with them and use positive language with them
• Use positive body language, give them praise and encourage their effort
• Listen to what they have to say , respect their interest and respond to show you are listening
• Value and praise their work and reassure them its ok to make mistakes encouraging them to try gain
• Accept children for who they are focusing on their strength not weakness
• Encourage independence Children learn a lot more by trying for themselves though it will take longer and probably be more messy.
• Be a positive role model encouraging cooperation and tolerance between them

Hello Button1983

For 6.1
While supporting children’s development and learning it’s also important to support them in their development of self- esteem and self confidence. In childcare settings we can offer a variety of activities to promote this and to help them build up their self-esteem and self-confidence skills. Supporting these skills can be acquired through a variety of group activities such as circle time, running races, role-play or building a snowman in the snow as a team. Working within a team and group will help children gain more social skills and in time will become more confident. It’s vital that we are positive by using praise and encouragement to help children and young people focus on what they are good at and making sure we notice when children are trying hard by taking an interest in their efforts and achievements. If a child succeeds at something they have tried to achieve then celebrating success will help the child feel good about themselves and give them a lot more encouragement and support. As well as using verbal praise we can use non verbal such as thumbs up or smiling and nodding other ways to praise can be things such as merit marks or a sticker for doing really well, if a child doesn’t achieve what their goal is then still give praise for trying and encourage them not to give up and that they can do it next time. All children are different they all have their own abilities, weaknesses and strengths and it’s important to value each one of them as an individual to develop their self-esteem.

Hi linzi this is what I put I have had it checked off already, hopefully it gives you some ideas!

When a young person has been ill-treated there may be numerous organisations that may become involved. Each organisation shares the same goal of safeguarding children but they may be different roles in keeping a child safe. It is everyone’s responsibility to keep a child safe from harm. Therefore any organisation or person coming in contact with a young person should know how to keep them safe. The majority of children attend school. The school has a huge role in keeping each child safe from harm. School employees have the role of identifying any concern of harm on a child. As soon as an incident is identified, the employee must appropriately act to help the child. They may need to contact multiple agencies and even attend case conferences as needed. If the child is in danger of parental abuse, the school must alert the authorities and give all information to the police. The school must consult the child, listen to him and decide the best route to help the child. A school not only protects a child from home in his family life but they must also ensure the school is a safe environment as well. Any school bullying, physical or verbal should be resolved immediately so every child feels safe.
The duty of police officers is to prevent crime and disorder. They should be alerted to any child abuse cases and keep a record. The police have access to the IMPACT Nominal Index which can tell them where to find records on certain individuals involved. The police will investigate any abuse cases and have the authority to enter premises and remove and children if needed. They can put abused children into Child Protection Services. And in any cases where a child is harmed, the police will work with any other organisations that may be needed.
Any and all health professionals must be aware of the signs of abuse and neglect. It is their duty to be able to recognise if a child has been harmed or is in need. Health professionals must be able to recognise abuse performed to newborns and be aware of any parents who may need extra support with their children. All health professionals should be aware of the correct procedures to follow when they notice any abuse in children. Many health professionals will be involved throughout the whole case of the child in question. They can notice any deformities purposely caused by neglect or physical harm and they can contribute to serious case reviews.
Health visitors will contribute to all stages of a child protection process. In serious cases they may even be needed in serious case reviews. Health visitors develop a working relationship with the family. They are a great line of defence to notice any worsening changes in the home environment. They can recognize any risk factors that may be present for any children in the home. They can have close relationships with the children and be able to learn and listen to what the child has to say. Health visitors can also be a liaison between any other organisations need or between organisations and the family.
Volunteer organisation can also help in abuse cases. Some people who notice signs of harm done to a child may not feel comfortable reporting to the police. There are many abuse help lines that can be called to report abuse. These volunteer organisations will record any information given and report it to the proper authorities for immediate action. Volunteer organisations also offer therapeutic work for those who have been sexually abused.
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service may also be involved during child abuse cases. They can provide support for those harmed. CAMHS can provide an initial assessment on any individual who has been abused. They can decide on possible treatments. They can determine if the child will need any specialist teams to help them come to terms with the difficult situation they endured. They can also communicate with other organisations on their finding.
The United Kingdom Border Agency does not provide direct service to children but they are trained to notice any concerns about the safety and welfare of any children passing through customs. They are able to act on any concerns and place the child into better protection until the case is investigated. They can make referrals to local, national and regional agencies. The UKBA is also responsible to identify and child that are trafficking victims.

3 examples of how to support children and young people’s self-confidence and self-esteem

can someone please help with this question I a bit stuck on it?


thanks in advance

Hi, consider what happens in your setting and how you use praise to show the children you've noticed and support what they're doing. In what ways do you help children to take turns at different activities in your setting and the think about the different tasks and choices you provide the children, encouragng them to take part.


Self-confidence relates to how an individual projects that feeling through their personality and behaviour. For example how bold or reserved they are at taking part in activities, contributing their ideas and views during discussions or how comfortable a child feels at taking themselves off to an area to play/engage with others or if a child who attends the setting regularly is hesitant.

Self-esteem relates to how positively or negatively an individual feels about themself. (Pg 206 CYPW book)

The following is a quote from the older CYPW handbook : In order to feel safe and protected, children need to feel good about themselves. A child who has high self-esteem will do better in many aspects of development.


A few ideas as to how practitioners can support children and young peoples self esteem and confidence include:

• provide consistent boundaries so they all children know what is expected of them.
• praise and encourage their efforts and achievements.
• responding with warmth, patience and interest.
• listen with respect and interest.
• include children in decision making and provide choices so they feel in control.
• respect children's right to have their own opinions
• celebrate every small step towards independence - using the toilet, wahsing hands, making their own food (spreading & cutting), dressing themselves
• give children the opportunity to achieve and do things they feel proud of eg. have dresing up clothes for children who talk about their parents job or a role they are interested in.
• teach assertiveness. Which means having their needs met but still respecting those of others - turn taking, asking for help.
  Pg 206 CYPW book

This is from page 8/9 of the September 2021 EYFS:

Personal, Social and Emotional DevelopmentChildren’s personal, social and emotional development
(PSED) is crucial for children to lead healthy and happy lives, and is fundamental to their cognitive development. Underpinning their personal development are the important attachments that shape their social world.

Strong, warm and supportive relationships with adults enable children to learn how to understand their own feelings and those of others. Children should be supported to manage emotions, develop a positive sense of self, set themselves simple goals, have confidence in their own abilities, to persist and wait for what they want and direct attention as necessary.

Through adult modelling and guidance, they will learn how to look after their bodies, including healthy eating, and manage personal needs independently.

Through supported interaction with other children, they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably. These attributes will provide a secure platform from which children can achieve at school and in later life.


Hope this all helps xx
