“Why is elementary self-esteem important?”
Elementary self-esteem is the last period in which a mother can develop self-esteem; it lasts a lifetime.

A child with high self-esteem is not a child who has everything. A child who knows how to look at himself with a positive attitude. A child who is not discouraged even when he is not good at studying, and does not get cocky even when he is good at studying. In other words, a child who has a happy and strong mind and does not break easily. When dealing with 'child self-esteem', the most important thing to remember is that 'the child is the main character'. However, most parents solve their children's problems in advance and prevent failure in advance, thereby eliminating the opportunity for the child to become the main character.

This attitude especially starts when the child enters elementary school. Will the child be bullied by friends, will they be able to fit in with the group, will there be bad rumors about the child’s reputation, how much private education should be provided, how to establish study habits… With misguided anxiety and worry, they get ahead of the child’s speed. The author emphasizes that the process of raising ‘motherly self-esteem’ is a daily battle with anxiety, and that in order to raise a child’s self-esteem, the mother must overcome her anxiety. The more she overcomes her anxiety, the greater her trust grows, and the child’s self-esteem grows accordingly.
