About the Talk |
Many parents and guardians are concerned about their children’s lack of self esteem and worry that this will lead to poor confidence as they grow up. In this talk John Sharry presents a new model of self-esteem that focuses on core parenting values and what facilitates children and teenagers to grow up confidently and to lead content happy lives. Practical tips will be provided on how to motivate children to learn in a positive way that builds on their strengths and which increases their sense of value and self-esteem. |
