Building Your Child's Self-Esteem

"Low self-esteem is like driving through life
with your hand-brake on."
- Dr Maxwell Maltz

Don't let your child miss out on reaching their goals, dreams and highest ambitions....


"The Number 1 Way That You Can Guarantee Your Childs Success is to Teach Them Goal Setting And How to Use The Laws of Attraction at a Young Age..."

Every parent I know wants the absolute best for their children. We just want them to be happy. Doesn't matter if they are 3 or 33, or even 63, we never change do we?

You know kids who feel good about themselves - they are full of confidence and their self-esteem is high.

Building self-esteem and self confidence is about making our children feel worthwhile. Kids with high self esteem and confidence are happy kids. Absolutely everything else follows on from a high self-esteem.

You are the MOST IMPORTANT influence in their lives.

Forget peer groups, TV, best friends - it's YOU. Your kids just soak up the messages you give them.

You are the MOST important influence in your child's life. Your kids just love it when they have time with you. You know that they will do anything to please and impress you, given half a chance. What you say and do with them is...%u2026 read on :)

First I want to tell you a story about a boy I know. Jackson is my brother-in-law's nephew. He is just turned 10. Jackson is a boy soprano, and as a member of the highly esteemed Australian Boys Choir has travelled with them in the last 12 months to perform in New Zealand and Los Angeles and New York (stayed at the Waldorf Astoria). Jackson has also had a part in the musical Carmen in a major Melbourne theatre. Pretty exciting stuff! At school his class was asked to write what was the best thing they had done this year.

Jackson's answer: Fixing up my bike with my Dad

I've heard Jackson's Dad in action. Gary praises lots of little things that Jackson does. He praises him in front of others. Of course he tells me all about his singing, but Gary also tells me about Jackson's ideas, and how kind he is. He talks about how he tackles problems and how he helped his sister. Little ears are flapping nearby, and his face glows. No wonder Jackson loves to spend time with his Dad. And Jackson's self esteem soars.

Here is a fun Self-Esteem Building Activity:

Depending on the age of your child you can plan a fun activity which will build self esteem and confidence. It can be something really simple for a younger child. It's all about the praise and focusing on your child.
Think up a fun thing to do with your child - just you and her alone.
Something you will both enjoy. Make it a goal between the two of you. It could be making a fish pond in the yard, making a movie about your family for Grandma, going for a hike in the woods or cooking Mexican food for the family.

As you plan together - ask her opinion of what you could do. Of course give some suggestions - but take hers into consideration and let her decide, and praise the idea. = I have good ideas = I am clever and creative.

When you listen; listen to her with your full attention.
Stop what you are doing and look her straight in the eye. Ask questions that show you are really 'with her'. = I am worth listening to, I have something to say.

Does it really matter what you do together - as long as it is feasible? Listening to her opinion and being prepared to change your own after her comments gives her a sense of worthwhile ness. My opinions matter! = I matter!

Let's say you decided on cooking Mexican food for the family for Saturday night.
First you could look up recipes on the internet or at the library. Let her choose, and ask why she wants those dishes. "Ah, that's a good idea", or "Yuk, apples with chillies, you've got to be kidding!" (and have a huge laugh about it). My Dad thinks I am really funny, I can make him happy. I am pretty good really.

While she is looking for recipes, make comments like: "Yes, Mom will love that; how thoughtful of you" = I am really thoughtful.

Plan together
Plan the shopping list. As she writes it down guide her through the recipes if needed; say "You have covered everything, well done." = I am thorough = I am great

Plan the table and décor together. It may be that she could make some invitation cards for Mom, her brother and grandparents - with a Mexican theme. Or she could write a menu for the table. "Wow, they are gorgeous, what a terrific idea." = I am creative = I am clever

Cooking and setting the table, choosing music for the evening together %u2026%u2026"What a great idea", or "What a great choice" or "That looks fantastic" = I did a really good job. Notice her strengths and comment on them.

Don't forget in the planning to figure out in advance between you who is going to wait on table and who is going to clean up afterwards.

You get the idea. You simply cannot praise your child enough.

It's the little things that you observe and comment on. It might sound a bit corny to our ears, or seem like overkill, but praise, praise, praise in lots of subtle ways just builds and builds self esteem and confidence with your child. And every now and then you can drop in a gem about how important they are to you. As you drive to the supermarket tell her again about the day she was born, and how thrilled you were. You can tell her this a thousand times, and she will never get sick of it. = My Dad loves me = I am important to him = I am okay

Set achievable goals

Another point, make sure you set a goal together that is going to be achievable for you together - one that she will be able to pull her weight. Don't let her get out of her part in the plan, and end up doing things yourself. Keep her to her commitment = I can be relied on = I am responsible. We do our children no service at all when we allow them to get away with things.

When it's all over, praise her in front of the family, and tell them all the things she did and thought of. Notice the little things that made a difference. Even take a few photos to make a collage together of your Mexican Dinner with big words of praise on it - FUN - GREAT FOOD - THE WORLD'S BEST COOK - YUMMY. I'll bet she will pin it up on her wall and treasure it.

Find a FUN GOAL to work on together

Building self-esteem and self confidence is about making our children feel worthwhile. When they feel good about themselves they are full of confidence and their self-esteem is high. They are ready to take on the world. When you value your child, he values himself. The way we communicate with them is crucial in building their self-esteem. You can show how much you value them in all the ways that you communicate with them. Everything else follows on from a high self-esteem.

Kids with high self-esteem are happy kids.

When you show faith in their abilities in so many little ways, and when you support them and treat them respectfully, they feel a sense of security in their own capabilities and worthiness. Self-esteem is an important part of happiness; they can master their own lives free from uncertainty and worry.

wikiHow:Books For Africa - Write an Article & Send a Book to Africa ~ September ONLY, PLEASE register

Extremely proud to be a part of this organisation and really looking forward to this exciting challenge. My wikiHow - Click here :)

For the month of September, wikiHow will sponsor a book for a child in Africa every time a registered user writes a new article. Help the effort by writing a new article now.

wikiHow has an educational mission. We are creating the world's how-to manual to provide a practical education to millions of people around the world. Every time you write an article, patrol an edit, add a photo, you are helping to provide a practical education to someone else. wikiHow is also a "hybrid organization," unlike many for-profit corporations, we are always looking for innovative ways to serve the social good in accordance with our mission. With that in mind, we've decided to experiment with a one-month program that more directly extends our educational mission to children in need whom we aren't reaching via our website.

So here is the experiment: For the month of September, wikiHow will sponsor a book for a child in Africa every time a registered user writes a new article. In addition, we will sponsor extra books for the author and new article booster if a new article receives a rising star.

Why children in Africa? Africa is experiencing a book famine -- school kids lack basic supplies and they are in need of text books and reference works. It is not uncommon for ten kids to share one textbook, or for children to practice their lessons in the sand since they do not have pencils and paper (here is a more explanatory article from CNN talking about the book famine in Africa).

For the experiment, we've teamed up with a non-governmental development organization in Tanzania called the Poverty Eradication Network (PEN) Trust who will be responsible for receiving and distributing the books that we sponsor.

Because this is quite different than anything we’ve done previously, we thought it would be best to roll this out as a one month experiment to start. That way we as a community can see how it goes before deciding if this is something we want to continue exploring.

How to Maintain Discipline in Homeschooling - wikiHow

How to Maintain Discipline in Homeschooling - wikiHow

When a child stays at home all day, and mommy or daddy is the teacher,there are certain issues of discipline at stake. It is easy for a child to misconstrue the freedom he or she has at home and feel that homeschooling is just a long summer holiday. This is a potential landmine and children need to be disciplined right at and from the start.

Have you lived in South Africa? Have you been a victim of crime? Have you had your home burnt down?

If not, then in the wise words of Abe Lincoln, "say nothing and let people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and prove them right"

The Pickle Man: Dreaming of the Majors
By Susan Seeber Holloran


Zach and his older brother, Josh, love the game of baseball. On summer days they sprint off through their backyard gate toward the school field’s worn-down dirt mound, where Josh pitches and Zach runs the bases. They let their imaginations run wild, visualizing themselves playing in the Majors and imitating the cheers of the crowd. Zach’s speed and skill in getting in and out of pickles is admired by his teammates, and soon he is daydreaming of playing Major League Ball at Fenway Park, where the announcer introduces him onto the field as, “Zach, the pickle man!”

Author: Ann Bowes : Riding For Life published by Strategic Book Publishing, New York

Due to financial circumstances Ann never owned the pony she longed for as a child but this did not prevent her enjoying a wild and carefree life on the small hill farm alongside her brothers. Climbing trees, building dams and catching trout in the streams were all pastimes she revelled in, as well as helping with the animals on the farm. She was twenty-three before she acquired her first horse and this, along with raising her four children, provided her with an idyllic life with her husband in the heart of the North York Moors.

But tragedy befell Ann when she lost a son. Three weeks after this terrible accident her colt foal was born, and raising Danny-Boy, this horse she bred and named after her son, gave her a reason to live. When Danny-Boy was five, she planned a 'coast to coast' ride on him to raise money for Leukemia Research. The first half of the book describes her early years and her growing love and understanding of horses as well as the planning of her ride across northern England on horseback. The second half takes you on the journey itself, describes the beautiful and varied countryside through which she rode, and the wonderful people who all became a part of this momentous ride. How it helped Ann come to terms with her loss and face the future, despite the heartache and pain, with hope and even happiness.

Pratham Books: Peter Rabbit at Home

SOURCE: Pratham Books: Peter Rabbit at Home


This morning, while we had our first cup of coffee, I decided to break the routine by checking the movie channels instead of the news channels. And happily, I caught the latter half of 'Miss Potter', a 2006 Chris Noonan film. This a biopic of children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter.

After seeing the movie, I checked to see if 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' was available as an e-book. Sure, it was. Was most enjoyable. Do check it out at
http://www.scribd.com/doc/351837/The-Tale-of-Peter-Rabbit-by-Beatrix-Potter.
Thank you, Donnette E Davis, for uploading that book and all the others too. You seem to be doing a remarkable job with children and parents as part of your homeschooling efforts at St.Aiden's Homeschool, South Africa.

Do check out Pratham Books on Scribd too.We would be very happy if children in South Africa could use them too!

Author Donna Stone

Writer Donna Stone takes the reader on a ten-year journey of the frustrations, tears, and emotional rollercoaster that she and her family faced while dealing with the complexity of the medical system, the myriad of doctors and nurses who cared for Brandon, and the affect it had on their immediate and extended family.

Stone writes with brutal honesty and her message is not only intended to guide and help those who have a family member with chronic disease, but her encouragement of taking ownership for the hand that life deals one at times is brilliant and inspiring. Her faith in God and the love she expresses for her son will touch your heart and soul.

Author: Oren Davies - Superb Book of Boys Names

BRIEF BIO:

The author is Australian and has grown up in that country. He lives in the city of Melbourne which is in the south. For a long time he has had an interest in the meaning and origins of personal names. Therefore the book is an in-depth study of male personal names.

Author: Kedar Prasad PhD

Synopsis of my book: In today’s world, many people worry about terrorist threat of exploding nuclear or dirty bomb, chemical weapons or biological weapons more than did in the past. This book has tried to reduce their fear by describing the nature of each of these weapons, their adverse health effects and difficulties in using some of them as a weapon of mass destruction. In addition, instead of feeling helpless, the guidelines described in this book can help you to understand the risk you are facing, as well as what you can do to protect yourself and your family- not just from uncertain risks like explosion of dirty bomb, toxic chemicals or harmful infective agents, but also from other risks such as diagnostic x-ray-based procedures, radiation received during flight at high altitude and working in the environment of radiation equipments.

St Aiden's Homeschool Website Updates - 05 February 2009

Wow! I cannot believe we are well into February already. The Northern Hemisphere will soon be experiencing spring days whilst the Southern Hemisphere will begin its autumn days. Where is the time going to J

As promised in the last website update we have a focus on one of the greatest literary masters in history, Charles Dickens. I have compiled Comprehension & Literature Unit Studies on some of his well-known and lesser-known works. The age groups for these will vary dependent upon the age and aptitude of the learner.

Each Unit study is accompanied by an Executive Study, which is helpful when summarising for written comprehension. Normally this is aimed at much older students. I have included these because of the length of some of the manuscripts… I know one is 943 pages long.

The download links can be found at these pages:

David Copperfield


Master Humphrey's Clock

Oliver Twist

The Battle of Life

The Holly Tree

The Cricket On The Hearth

The Chimes

A Child's History of England

On Dickens Main Page you will find an autobiography on the man himself, as well as some interesting books of fact, The Works of Dickens. Also are links to some really informative sites on Dickens and his works.

I have also compiled a comprehensive literature unit study on Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. It’s a large file and it was eventually necessary to break it down into the original “parts” of the book. So there are 8 sections to the book, each one illustrated beautifully, and a separate download link for the Literature Unit Study. Please let me know of any broken links in this section as it was reformatted a number of times until I was happy with the final books.

Items that are not uploaded to the website but are available for free download at Currclick are:
