Ep.10 – Self-Esteem
Loving Parent Podcast
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.
