Kid Confidence: Help Your Child Build Real Self-Esteem (Workshop)

Kid Confidence: Help Your Child Build Real Self-Esteem

Directly trying to improve children’s self-esteem tends to backfire. The more we tell self-doubting kids, “You’re wonderful!”, the harder they argue, “I’m terrible!” In this recorded workshop, Dr. Eileen addresses common self-esteem challenges: feeling friendless, giving up easily, and struggling with feeling different. You'll learn practical ways to help your child develop genuine confidence by connecting with something bigger than themselves. (62 min.)
