Happy Holidays! Here’s another raw episode recorded. without the benefit of editing. There should be another interview next week. 

In recording this episode about Self-Esteem, I talk quite a bit about positive affirmations. There are many books about affirmations you can read, including mine and Self-Esteem, A Family Affair by Jeanne Illsley Clark. Both have affirmations geared to the developmental stages of childhood. I suggest you pick a few you like and memorize them. 

i thought I’d give you some here you to get started:

I’m  glad you’re here. 

you belong here. 

I like to watch you change and grow. 

you can think about how you feel, and feel about what you think. 

 

you can take your time. 

it’s ok to make mistakes. 

i like the person you’re becoming.
