This is a great article on how to talk with girls (although it applies to boys as well). To help build true self esteem
with our kids we need to comment on more than the color of their hair
or choice of outfit! The building blocks for confidence are created by
characteristics of substance such as, interests, skills and
accomplishments; truly qualities to be proud of! Ask questions that
give others a chance to share their opinions and passions.
I went to a dinner party at a friend’s home last weekend, and met her five-year-old daughter for the first time. Little Maya was all curly brown hair, doe-like dark eyes, and adorable in her shiny pink nightgown. I wanted to squeal, “Maya, you’re so cute! Look at you! Turn around and model that pretty ruffled gown, you gorgeous thing!” Lisa Bloom
