Your Child’s Self-Esteem

by Barbara Desmarais

Every child is born with unique characteristics but their feeling of worth comes from their home environment. Parents play a significant role in their child’s sense of self. Our response to their accomplishments, their efforts, and our willingness to support those qualities that make them special all contribute to the very important feeling of self-worth.

Helping a child feel good about how he/she is starts with how we feel about ourselves. We can’t give what we don’t have. Do we take time out for ourselves? Do we have clear boundaries? Do we give ourselves permission to make mistakes?

On Tuesday, February 15th, I’m leading a telelcass on self-esteem called: “I Like Me.” If you are a Parenting Coach member the fee is included in your membership. Click on to the my homepage for all the details.

Children who grow up liking who they are will take risks because they’re not afraid to fail. They are more likely to lead rather than follow and they tend to make friends easily.

I look forward to “seeing” you on the call!
