In this book, Dr. Travis helps to identify the causes of a low self-esteem and the roles that parents, schools, and the church play in shaping the lives of our children. He talks about the vulnerability of a child's view of themselves and ways to help them achieve a healthy self-esteem.He discusses the health problems of pathologically low levels of self-esteem and how it can lead to depression. He also talks about the problem of having an unrealistically high self-esteem and how it can lead to eventual disappointment.I think this book can be a valuable resource. Reading it, and discussing it with your children after they've read it, can lead to some insightful conversations.I highly recommend it.
