Self Esteem Happens

You live your life every day. How you live it determines how you view yourself. The same thing happens for your children. What they see, hear and observe in their world, especially what relates directly to them, paints a picture of how their world is.

You could say that picture is their reality. They grow up in their reality. Their view of who they are and how they are and who and what they can and cannot be is all defined in the reality they created growing up.

I never set out to raise kids with high self esteem. I never worked at building self esteem in children. I did all I knew to raise kids who knew how deeply they were and still are treasured just because they exist. All I want is for them to be happy and healthy.

The result is two adults with high self esteem who have all the traumas everyone else does in life. And they come through whatever happens and move forward with their lives no matter what is going on.
