Words are powerful. This is especially true when you consider the words that you choose to describe your child – or children you work with. Today we are sharing a huge list of adjectives about kids to increase self-confidence and esteem in children.
Adjectives About Kids: Using the Power of Words to Increase Confidence
What's Inside:
As a teacher and parent, I know first hand how true that quote is.
I have seen behaviors, attitudes and self-esteem completely transformed in my classroom just by carefully choosing words to describe kids in a positive light.
You see, if a child repeatedly hears someone describe them using positive words, eventually they start to believe what they are hearing.
Because I have seen how powerful words can be, I have become more intentional with the words I use to describe the behavior, actions and personalities of my own children – and I encourage you to do the same.
Adjectives are describing words and you can pretty much guarantee that the words kids grow up hearing are the same words they will end up using to describe themselves as adults.
How to Use Adjectives to Describe Kids
Adjectives about kids can be used in a variety of ways:
- As a parent trying to improve the self-esteem of your own child.
- As a teacher looking for descriptions to include in report cards or progress reports.
- As a coach or counselor trying to find words to describe the positive personality traits you see in the kids you’re working with.
No matter why you are looking for adjectives to describe children, it’s helpful to understand why being as specific as possible is very important.
Oftentimes we get in the habit of using the same generic phrases like “cute” or “smart” on repeat.
When children hear these same terms repeated over and over they actually become meaningless.
Here are some tips on using adjectives to describe kids:
- Use phrases that are as unique and individualized as possible.
- Avoid focusing on appearance for compliments. You don’t want a child’s self-worth to be connected to the way they look.
- Consider characteristics that set them apart from others.
- Try to rephrase challenging aspects of their personality in a positive way that highlights how they can use them as strengths (ie instead of stubborn, describe them as determined).
- Use these words and phrases in everyday conversation so they frequently hear themselves being described using positive words.
- Write the words on post-it notes and leave them for your child to find in their room, on the bathroom mirror or inside their favorite book.
- Utilize them as part of a daily affirmation routine.
- Be genuine – kids can tell when you’re not being authentic. Be sure that the words you use accurately describe your child and how you feel about them – even if it’s just some of the time.
- Have your child (or students) choose words from this list of adjectives for describing kids to make a poster or collage about themselves.
When used consistently these words will become a natural part of your daily routine and your child will become accustomed to hearing themselves in a positive light every day.
Now let’s get on to the list!

How to describe a child
Hearing the words people use to describe my child has made me very aware of the adjectives I use to describe her.
Their descriptions have made me really stop and think about the messages our word choices unintentionally send our children.
Frequently we use kind of milk-toast adjectives like “great,” focus on physical characteristics (“cute” or “pretty”), or praise a child for being so “smart.”
There are a couple problems with always praising a child’s appearance or constantly calling them “good” or “smart.”
For one, girls are already bombarded with messages from society that their appearance matters, maybe more than anything else about them.
Although no one means harm when they tell their daughter how cute she is or that she has a nice outfit, it helps reinforce the idea that how they look is more important then who they are. This can cause a lot of problems and confidence issues down the line!
Virtually everyone who talks to us when we’re out tells us how pretty, beautiful, or cute our LG is. They tell us how my husband is going to jealously guard her from would-be boyfriends.
Muñeca (doll) and princesa are favorite adjectives from our Miami family.
A few people do comment on how observant she is, but typically only after they’ve called her cute half a dozen times.

I know it’s super hard not to call your little one cute all the time. I’ve tried since day 1 to say other things to LG, but “cute” still slips out frequently because she is cute! But I consciously try to mention her other attributes, like her strength and determination, whenever possible.
Constantly praising a child’s intelligence can also backfire. Although it’s obviously fine to mention their smarts in moderation, a child may become afraid of doing anything that might make them look “stupid” if they’ve tied their identity to being “smart.”
This kind of thinking can lead “talented” students to take less challenging classes and tasks because they’ve tied their identity to being a “good student” and are afraid of making less than straight A’s (If you’re a new reader – I have a Masters in Teaching and this is a topic we studied in developmental psychology and educational theory classes.
It’s fascinating stuff!)
It’s also really important to read the research on how praise can backfire in the long run. Read Conditional Parenting – it’s a game changer.

MBDOU Kindergarten No. 186 "Volgarik", Ulyanovsk. Children learning how to formulate questions
Section “We want to be inquisitive”.
Only those who are willing and able to ask questions can be considered inquisitive. After that, you can teach ways to find the answer to them.
The formation of a small child's ability to ask different types of questions can be started from the age of three. To do this, you need to make diagrams of different types of questions, use signs for the names of signs and any objects.
Purpose: to promote the formation of skills to ask various types of questions to objects or processes.
Clarity:
1. Make a “Asking Questions” card on cardboard (approximately 5 cm high, 20 cm wide), which consists of 4 boxes: 3 of them are empty, the fourth one has a question mark.
2. Draw diagrams of different types of questions on cards, the size of which is 4 × 4 cm.
Explanation: due to the fact that seven types of questions are mastered with children, there should be seven cards with diagrams.
Topic: “Making different questions”.
At preschool age, seven types of questions are mastered, which are of a different nature, so we recommend:

• for children five to seven years old: subjective type of questions.
The structure of an interrogative sentence includes at least three words, in connection with this, the card has three free cells in which schemes or objects must be placed:

Task No. 1.
"Interview with a fairy tale character".
Take on the role of a character from a familiar literary work or cartoon. Invite the child to take out question word schemes from the box of "Uncle Question's Gifts" and ask questions to your image one by one.
For example: you turned into the Snow Maiden from the Russian folk tale "The Snow Maiden". The child took out a diagram of the evaluation question and asked: “What is good and what is bad in the fact that you, the Snow Maiden, went with the girls to the forest?”.
We recommend that you answer from the point of view of life experience, going beyond the scope of a literary work. This approach forms the child's independence in assessing the actions of literary characters.
Here is an example of an interview of a child of six and a half years old with an adult who took on the role of Kolobok:
— supplementing: “Kolobok, what is your main character trait?”
Answer: "I am carefree and do not think about the consequences of my actions."
- descriptive: "Kolobok, what did you manage to understand?".
Answer: "I realized that you can't just show off and fulfill
requests without thinking, but it was already too late."
- causal: "Why did you leave Grandma and Grandpa?".
Answer: "I wanted to run and sing a song."
- evaluative: "What's good, what's bad about being edible?"
Answer: “Good, because this is my main sign, I was created for this, but bad, because I have a short life.”
- imaginary: "What would happen if you didn't jump out of the window and stay at home?"
Answer: "There would be another story about me."
- clarifying: "Is it true that you were inquisitive?"
Answer: “No, I was not interested in anything, and I did not ask anyone for anything. That's why I'm not inquisitive."
- subjective: "Kolobok, what do you think about yourself?".
Answer: "I think that I did not have enough experience to understand the cunning of the Fox."
As the child learns to interview a fairy-tale character, he can turn himself into someone from a familiar cartoon or fairy tale. In this case, the adult formulates questions to the child.
Make interview outlines in your workbook.
