A thought for today day: Stress Proof Children
A child who is regarded as important, who is valued for the unique way he/she sees the world, and who treated with respect,
even when not at his or her best, will form a positive self-concept a positive self-concept leads to self-esteem which creates a protective barrier from the stressors a child will face in life.
High self-esteem comes not only from achievements but also from learning to accept mistakes as part of learning new things.
Acceptance and affection from the people who are important to us, adds to our inner security and self-esteem.
