From the moment children enter the world they are subjected to a value system that esteems only a few. Those who fail to measure up are left feeling inadequate.
Dr Dobson exposes these pressures, and in their place presents ten strategies to cultivate self-esteem in every child. He explains the feelings which typically motivate shyness, apathy, aggressiveness and disrespect; and offers positive objectives for parents, teachers and counsellors. He outlines the kind of values that offer dignity and respect to every human being, giving children the courage to seek what's best for them, rather than hide in fear and sorrow.
This bestselling book makes rewarding reading at a time when many children and adolescents find it difficult to feel a valued part of their families and wider society.
