Children of low self esteem might display symptoms like the following:
Clowning Around and doing Funny Stuff. When a child is under pressure, he clowns around instead of doing the task as told or taught. To them, this is the way they could avoid from failing the task or disappointing his parents.
Belittling Others and Themselves. Lack of self-esteem in a child will lead to a child often belittling himself and others even when he achieve something. Examples are when he says things like "I am so stupid" or "I always do everything wrong."
Avoid Trying Something New. Children always want to constantly try new things and have new experiences. Signs of hopelessness and refusal to learn new things are sure signs of low self esteem.
Abusive and Controlling. Children who bully others have problems of their own. They vent out their frustration or unhappiness onto others or fending their own vulnerabilities.
Extreme Case for Perfection. Any unnatural exertion on the part of a child to achieve perfection may be as a result of low self-esteem. A child who studies hard to pass an exam is okay but if your child finds coping with criticism difficult then there may be trouble ahead.
Denial. Try asking your child if he is worried about completing his school project on time, if he denies, then look for further proof such as eye contact. Denial sometimes is adopted by children because they don’t want adults to know their inadequacies.
Neglect of their Appearance. If a child has always been neat and paid attention suddenly does not care about the dirt on their shirt or their uncombed hair, it may be an onset of a case of low self-esteem.
