We can use words and actions combined. The Eyres suggest role-playing, seeing how it feels. For example, the mother who calls and calls and calls for the children to come to dinner. Or the child left out of the games. Everyone will feel better.
Self Respect Many people who have been hurt over a long period of time lose respect for themselves.
In Teaching your Children Values, the Eyre s report one of their children constantly saying negative things about himself. Richard decided, one week, to write down all the negative things this child said about himself. At the end of the week, he reported what he had heard. It was only then that he realized the he, himself, was the victim. Again, watch ALL the words and actions, even the ones you say or do to yourself.
