Growing up without love, support, or safety can negatively impact self worth. Self worth is the belief that you have value and are worthy of love and belonging. Children with parents who were absent, inattentive, inconsistent, or harsh may come to believe that their needs don’t matter, and that they don’t deserve to be cared for and loved. Strategies such as self care, setting boundaries, and asking for what you need can help increase self worth.
