The Treasure that is Self-esteem

The Treasure that is Self-esteem

What supports children for a lifetime

What really matters in bringing up children
It is not only since the pandemic that we have seen how great the danger is for our children. The child and adolescent therapist Ulrike Döpfner is confronted with it time and again: problems with social contacts, difficulty separating from the parents, conflicts at school - all of them are caused by self-esteem disorders and a lack of self-love.
With the help of a lot of background information, practical tips and exercises, Döpfner takes on this up-to-now largely overlooked element of a healthy upbringing and shows that strong self-esteem is THE protective factor that helps children develop stable personalities. Does praise really boost self-esteem? How do parents encourage their children to be intrinsically motivated instead of being dependent on getting good marks at school? Promoting their self-esteem is the greatest gift parents can give their children. Some short stories to help access difficult topics with the child in a playful way complete this book for parents with children of kindergarten and primary school age (3 to 12).

‘Truly fortunate children are those who accept themselves for who they are. This is the basis for a strong self-esteem and thus a healthy psychological development’ - Ulrike Döpfner
