Self Esteem Activities for Teenage Girls

Teenage girls often go through a phase of dissatisfaction about
their physical appearance. They want to change one aspect or the other
about themselves. It is not quite uncommon to hear complaints of a big
nose, big flat feet, being short, being stout, etc.It is quite natural
that the body undergoes many physical changes during a particular
phase, some of which may bring down the confidence of the teenager.
This affects the thought process in a big way and hence, some of them
find it quite difficult to adjust to these changes. The self-esteem of
the teenager gets affected to a large extent. While some of them tend
to withdraw and may even become depressed, others express their
frustration.Parents can help their teenage children in a big way in
order to come out of this vicious circle and develop confidence.� Be
very conscious of the comments that you make on your daughter.
Slightest negative remark can trigger the angry side of the individual
and you may be surprised that she reacts in an aggressive manner.
�
Try and have a friendly conversation often. Understand the pressures
she faces with her peers or in her school or college. Ask her to
express freely on what is bothering her. You need not offer her a
solution. For some, venting out their frustration could just be
soothing.
� Keep having inspirational conversations with your child.
Take live examples of people who have the same limitations that she
thinks she has and show them as role models of how it really does not
matter in the long run.
� Both the parents should actively interact
with the child. More often, fathers are still busy with their careers
when their daughters are in their teenage and have no clue about the
child. This is not a very positive thing in the family.
