Below are some of the few solutions to help raise your single child’s self-esteem :

So find ways of getting the child to start moving out of this self-centered mentality and think of others.

Here are a few techniques that i have used to change many of my bad habits successfully:-

Commitment

Commitment is most important in any activity especially when changing bad habits. I have found that it often helps to publicise your commitment to change.
