Module Two: Discussion Questions
1. What role do you think discipline plays in developing a child’s self-esteem? What forms of discipline best serve the self-esteem of the child or adolescent?
-I think discipline plays an importing role in developing a child’s self-esteem. It determines the way children collaborates with the public and their effects to what may happen to the child depending on the way they were disciplined as a minor. For example, punishing to harsh can scar them for life and they can grow with a low self-esteem and not giving them enough punishment can make them into children’s that doesn’t obey their parents and wanting to do whatever they want.
2. List and discuss how activities, clubs, or sports, impact the self-esteem of children and parents. Provide at least two activities, clubs, or sports in your answer.
-Children that are in sports, clubs etc. are more likely to have a high self-esteem because self-esteem usually comes from accomplishments and success. Such as basketball players working hard on different techniques on how to win a game that takes time, effort, and determination. But after that big win, the trophies, the crowds going wild it puts the child on top making them trilled over what they have accomplished. Also being involved in a debate club gives you that boost of excitement knowing that whatever your thinking is being heard and your knowledge is being shared , after winning versus someone else gives you the high self-esteem because you just accomplished a great self-achievement.
