Self-Esteem in Young Children - The PItfalls of Working Too Hard On This

Posted July 3, 2011

I've been lying on beaches and having blessed time alone and with extended family for the last two weeks. Now I'm in BC ready to do some sailing (solo with my husband Scott) for almost two more weeks. Several parents have wondered why no Telephone Consultation dates are posted during this time. Phone Consultations are available again beginning on the 18th of July.  Check here for available dates. (Looks like July 18 is fully booked already.)

Unlike parents of young parents, I've had time to read on my holiday!  There is one particular article  from The Atlantic Magazine that I'm anxious to have you read. The points made here should ring true for all of us even though much of it applies to your future efforts to raise children to be "happy" --while it applies very well to my past efforts to raise "happpy" children.  Let me know what you think about the points made in this article.

Thank you so much for posting that article.  I sent it around to all the Moms I know and they are sending out too.  We are all talking about some of the real issues that we are dealing with.  It has given all of us great perspective and information.
