I did not find it easy to be a kid. I do not remember what age I was when I realized that "life" was out there, and that I needed to take charge of my own. But I sure determined that I would learn what was necessary!
Advancing the self esteem in children should be your primary goal. First, for your own kids, but please include other kids in your goal.
When I was nine years old, I was in a grade school that had a large number of Japanese children. They were my friends. They were California born, and their parents had been born there. They were land-owning farmers. They grew food to feed us and flowers to please us. This was 1941.
One day my friends were in class. The next day they were gone. A Concentration Camp was their fate for the next several years! This was the United States of America, home of the free and the brave.
Reality came into my life in 1941. I determined then and there that I would learn to be self sufficient, kind, compassionate, generous, loyal, dedicated to my principles, and infinitely curious and diverse about everything. Desperately, I wanted to teach myself something that I could excel in.
However, I do not know that I have found what that "talent" is. I adore music, and took lessons for 6 years. No. Art? Absolutely not. Dance, same answer. Writing? I am still trying to learn that. I AM good with kids, YEAH. I have four of my own, and thirteen grand kids. Perhaps they would say that I am okay.
The point of this article is to tell you the importance of establishing self esteem in children. It is your responsibility and privilege to be able to recognize your kids issues and sort them out in a way that will benefit your child for the long-term
Are you able to help your child through difficult times?. Can you maneuver them positively through their peer pressure challenges? What about body image issues? There are enormous things they must deal with. You must help them. You brought them into the world, or especially chose them for your own. Providing the self esteem in children is within your power.
Many more "secrets" are available to you in my website. I've been through most any situation, and can help.
