How do we as parents give our children the ability to develop healthy levels of self-esteem and ultimately contribute to their self-worth? First, we have to understand what self-esteem is. The definition of self-esteem according to the 4th edition of the Social Work Dictionary is, "An individual's sense of personal worth that is derived more from inner thoughts and values than from recognition from others". I like to add that self-esteem includes love for oneself not to be confused with being in love with oneself. So, how do we get our children to have positive, happy thoughts and values? How do we get our children to truly love themselves?This is how the insightful and important first book begins. The author truly relates to the parent the need to instill self-worth to their children, and does so with excellent words and lessons that any parent should have on their must read list.
