After reading another of Seho Song's books I ran across "Self Esteem For Children" and knew it was a perfect book for me to help my son build up his self-esteem in a healthy and successful way. My son, like me, is a quiet introverted boy who enjoys things like reading, drawing and writing... which doesn't always translate well when interacting with other kids his age. He's always struggled to fit in with other kids and now that he is in the second grade that is even more pronounced as he makes huge strides in school, something that makes him feel like he's a "freak" or "nerd". The author addresses these concepts in a wonderful way, helping parents to identify problems and solutions to a child's self-esteem that can be improved and developed so that they grow up feeling confident, capable and ready to enter new situations with excitement instead of nervous dread.The book is well-written and well-researched, providing solids advice, tips and techniques to help both the child and the parent to grow up ready and able to face the challenges of the world. From sharing in the mistakes that we all make and how to use them to  still teach a valuable lesson to helping to root out causes for extreme shyness that can hold a child back, this book makes it easier to raise children who are happy and healthy as they grow.
