There's no way to shield your child from disappointments. Instead, courage him or her to use difficult situations as an opportunity to confront feelings and cope with rejection. So it's wise to think about developing and promoting self-esteem during childhood. As kids try, fail, try again, fail again, and then finally succeed, they develop ideas about their own capabilities. At the same time, they're creating a self-concept based on interactions with other people. This is why parental involvement is the key to helping kids from accurate, healthy self-perceptions. Excellent for kids and thumbs up for the author.
