I'm at a loss as to how to improve self esteem in dd. She is often saying " I'm rubbish/terrible at this or that"
I praise her art work or anything really but she always thinks her work is rubbish. I suggested we try some photography but she said " no, I'm terrible at it"
We haven't ever tried photography before though. I asked her what she thought she was good at and she said " nothing"
She is not depressed and is adamant she s not going back to school.
I'm just not sure how to help her feel like she is good at things and we can do things even if we aren't perfect at them. She is 12 and has brothers and sisters younger than her.
