Riddhi Deorah walks parents through five steps when a child says they feel ugly: pause and thank them for sharing, ask why, find what makes it worse, validate their feelings instead of dismissing them with praise, and remind them of unconditional love. Your reaction shapes their self-esteem.
If your child says, Mommy, I'm ugly, I don't look good, here's what you should do. Your child's self-esteem will depend majorly on your reaction as a parent. So here are 5 things that you must do. Number 1, please pause and tell your child, thank you for sharing this with me. Number 2, then ask your child why do they feel that way. Number 3, ask them what makes them feel worst about this. Number 4, Tell them, I can see this bothers you, it hurts you, and try to validate their feeling instead of just saying, no beta, you're very good looking. And number 5, remind your child that you love them no matter what. So if you want to help your child, share this reel and comment story, and I will share a guide with you with stories of successful people who are not very beautiful as per the societal standards, but they've done very well in life and are very fulfilled.
