Self- esteem is the gift of love most of us would like to be able to give our children - the children we parent or teach or care about.
We want our children to have self-confidence and to know that they are lovable. Some days we aren't sure how to do that. Some days our own self-esteem is low and we wonder how to give what we do not have.
Like yesterday, when I did something I hated when my parents did it and I vowed that I would never do it. But I did, because the old ways is "bred-in-the-bone" and I fall back on it when I am unsure of myself or when I have lost sight of other options.
So what are my options? How can I build my internal resources?
