Understanding Self-Esteem in Teens
Helping teens develop authentic confidence and self-worth.
-
Developmental Stage: Adolescence is a critical period for self-esteem development as teens form their identity and compare themselves to others.
-
Social Media Impact: Curated social media feeds create unrealistic standards and constant social comparison that damages self-worth.
-
Roots of Low Self-Esteem: Academic pressure, appearance concerns, peer rejection, family dynamics, and past failures contribute to poor self-esteem.
-
Self-Esteem vs Self-Compassion: Rather than pursuing high self-esteem, we teach teens self-compassion — accepting themselves while striving for growth.
