Instilling self-esteem is the most valuable contribution an adult can make to a child’s life. But to teach self-esteem, one must first have it. This book is bursting with stimulating suggestions, encouraging ideas, and easy to use tools that can help you build more self esteem in your children — and in yourself.
100 Ways To Build Self-Esteem and Teach Values offers an encyclopedia of hands-on exercises, charts, heartwarming stories, poetry, and quotes to help parents and children learn basic tools for cultivating mutual respect, recognition, and independence. The mother and daughter authors write from the premise that “self-esteem is like good nutrition — the more our children have it, the healthier and stronger they become.”
The book is divided into ten chapters of ten sections each. Each chapter begins with a heartwarming story or an inspired piece of poetry and ends with a chart that sums up old beliefs that trap you in low self-esteem, and new beliefs that will lead to full esteem.
Topics Covered Include: • Giving the gifts of appreciation and affirmation in practical everyday ways
• Surviving and thriving through the teen years
• Breaking through negative mindsets and learning to tap into the power of positive language
• Learning to communicate with compassion and respect
• Tapping into the power of humor and play in the adult-child relationship
