It's a frequent misunderstanding that introverts and people with low self-esteem are the same. The quiet demeanor of an introvert is often mistaken for a lack of confidence, but the two are worlds apart. I am an introvert even if I can sometimes be an ambivert and I also have friends that are introvert but that doesn't mean our self esteem is low. Being an introvert means you are reserved, quiet, you enjoy spending time alone to going out with friends. You enjoy a solitary environment than a noisy one. Some introverts are shy, some are not. When you see someone that has low self esteem, the case is different. You can be an introvert and still have a healthy self esteem. Anybody can be affected by this plague called low self-esteem. Parents, Youth, Teens, Children. This book is what you need to bid low self esteem good-bye. Parents, don't close your eyes and watch your children suffer from this disease when you can enlighten them with this book. Let them be bold enough to stand and lend their voice and not hide their face. Self Esteem Therapy is still selling for 1500.

For those working through anxiety: sometimes, all we really need is someone to listen. Advice, well wishes, and prayers are kind, but the simple act of truly listening can mean so much more. We all have good intentions, but today, let’s pause and give the gift of our ears and presence to the ones we love most. Listening is often the greatest support we can offer. Pro Listener Tip: The next time someone opens up, try asking, ‘Would you like advice, or would you prefer I just listen?’ It can make all the difference. How do you feel when someone really listens to you? Let’s talk in the comments below! #ListenWithLove #SupportMatters

When you argue back with your child, it can lead to more conflicts and misunderstandings. It might make them feel unheard or frustrated, and it could damage your relationship. So, it's better to stay calm and find a peaceful way to resolve things together. When your child argues, try these approaches instead: 1. Stay calm and listen actively to their perspective. 2. Validate their feelings and show empathy. 3. Focus on problem-solving together rather than winning the argument. 4. Set clear boundaries and communicate respectfully. 5. Take breaks if needed to cool off before continuing the discussion. By using these strategies, you can tackle arguments constructively and strengthen your relationship with your child. #parentingwisdom #conflictresolution #Parenting #arguments #staycalm #connectionmatters #conversation #communication #relationship #values #parenting101 #parentingcoach #parentcoach https://lnkd.in/g5NMb2Tn

How do you listen to people? One listening trap is preconceived listening. We come to a conversation ‘knowing’ what the other person is like or what they will say. We have already decided what they want to tell us or think we know their opinion. When we come with these preconceived ideas, it is very hard to hear what is actually being said. It is hard to understand another person when we are already blinkered to who they are. In my work with parents, I have seen how changing how they listen to their children improves their relationship, understanding, and outcomes.

As a parent, your words have the ability to shape your child's self-esteem, confidence, and future. Your words can either build them up or tear them down. Here are some tips to help you use your words to empower your child: * Instead of focusing on what your child is doing wrong, focus on what they're doing right. 😊 * Instead of just saying "good job," tell your child exactly what they did well. 👏  * When your child talks to you, give them your full attention. 👀 * Instead of saying "don't be afraid," say "you've got this! 💪 So, let's use our words to support and inspire our little ones. 💪 #ParentingWords #ChildEmpowerment #PositiveParenting #BuildingConfidence #EncouragingWords #EmpowerYourChild #EffectiveCommunication #SupportiveParenting #InspireLittleOnes #WordsMatter Santosh Kaveti || Bharani Kumar Aroll || Chaitanya Gorrepati || Anindita Suresh Chandra || Seema sikri || RAJASHEKAR REDDY VENUGANTI 

Sometimes people are quick to give advice or lectures, thinking they're saving someone. But often, what that person really needs is a kind ear, a hug, and someone who truly listens without judgment. Let's remember the power of empathy and support. #ListenWithLove #SupportOverJudgment #MentalHealthMatters #EmpathyHeals #CompassionFirst

"Does Your Child Rely on Your Words?" As kids grow, they’re pulled between their friends' advice and their parents' guidance. But how can we, as parents, ensure our words have a lasting impact? 1. Build Trust Through Listening: Create a safe, judgment-free zone where your child feels heard. Ask yourself, "Do I listen without interrupting?" 2. Be Their Guide, Not Their Critic: Shift from giving strict instructions to offering supportive advice. A simple question like, "What do you think about this?" shows them you value their thoughts. 3. Leave a Lasting Message: Share stories or gentle reminders that they can carry with them daily. Together, we can make sure our voice is the one they remember, even when we’re not around. #TheVoiceOfTheYoungOnes #ParentingWithLove #BuildingTrust
