Children’s Self-Esteem

Focusing on the “assets and strengths” is an integral part of encouraging my children.  I need to add concrete behavioral things and specific information that will reaffirm the existing assets and strengths.  So I am no longer just cheering them on, I am telling them I recognize what positives already exist and increasing the likelihood that they see those strengths too.  I am identifying attributes they can build on while I watch them blossom with every success!
