How can I help build my child´s self-esteem?

Great Expectations

Provide encouragement and NEVER let the words “drop-out” or “juvenile delinquent” enter your mind or vocabulary. Children try to measure up to our expectations. Expect the BEST and you won't be disappointed. Never plant negative thoughts in your child's head or they will grow. Plant POSITIVE seeds if you want a good harvest. Encourage you child to be the best he/she can be and let them know that is what you expect. It doesn't have to be perfect, or the best there every was, just their best. Always giving their best will help ensure their success.
