Let Them Help Knowing that they're able to help others and make a difference in someone's life is a great self-esteem booster for children. My child is constantly looking for ways to help, whether it's picking up liter at school or helping a small child cross the monkey bars at the playground. This results in my child being a great role model for others, which is also an incredible self-esteem booster. Image Source: Pexels / Pixabay
