Self-esteem – the ability to recognize your feelings, know their names, allow yourself to experience them, be aware of your needs – as understood by the Norwegian psychologist Gyru Eyestad.
Moreover, adequate self-esteem involves the courage to speak out loud about both feelings and needs and expect the world to accept you “in your wholeness and completeness.” Talking about the self-esteem of children and adolescents, Gyuru Eyestad reminds us that growing up is a difficult and long process, and the task of parents is to recognize the right of the child to a variety of emotions and feelings, to teach him to be aware of them.
