:dizzy::dizzy:Hi, can anyone help please, the link between childrens ability to relate to others andtheir emotional well being and resilience. Does this mean then children who feel good about themselves relate to others in a more positive way if the child is happy content,good self esteem this makes the process of relateing to others easier......am i going in the right direction?

:wave: hi,
yes i think you are on the right track. high self esteem helps children overcome set backs and cope with difficult situations such as disappointment and hurt feelings and steers the way a child will act and respond to others. low self esteem may mean a child will start to compare themselves with other children in their age group and this can affect their emotional well being if they think they aren't doing so well.:D

Thanks little yorky, i just done this question and was about to log on here again for a bit more help when i saw your reply, thankyou anyway ive just been looking at another one about trust openness and honesty in practitioners relationships with children, does this mean that we are showing the children that we are there to listen to them and we value them in what they say to us we on a daily basis are there for them if they need help and we never encourage secrets between ourselves and a child, im woffling again lol can u help please ,,,,,
