Helping your child feel special
The way we feel about ourselves is an important part of our personal success. Here are some small ways to help your youngster increase his/her self esteem.
- Make a set of happy pictures of things you like about him.
- Keep a special photo of yourself and your son or daughter in a special place in your home that you decide upon together.
- Make handprint cookies together; cut around his/her hand on cookie dough with a plastic or dull knife. After baking, let him/her decorate them with frosting.
- Go out to breakfast alone with each of your children once every few months.
- Try on your costume jewelry together; shave together; pick out your clothes for one day using your child’s choices.
