“I am So Lucky
To B Me”
Did you know that the achievements we reach in our lives are
affected by how we see ourselves?
Two small words… SELF-ESTEEM… but one huge
quality.
Self-esteem
is beliefs or feelings that we have about ourselves, or our "self-perceptions."
How we define ourselves influences the choices we make everyday. From how we
dress to who our friends are, our self-esteem continues to change as we grow,
because it is affected by what we experience as children.
As parents we can help “cultivate” healthy self-esteem in our
children. The following are some tips that I found that I wanted to share with
you.
1. Watch what you say. Remember to
praise your child. Give lots of positive reinforcement.
2. Be a positive role model. Nurture
your own self-esteem, which gives your child a great role model.
3. Be spontaneous and affectionate with
your child. Lots of hugs and kisses!
4. Give positive and accurate feedback.
Acknowledge your child’s feelings and reward making good choices.
5.
Create a safe and nurturing home environment. Always remember to respect
your child.
6. Help your child become involved in
constructive experiences. An activity that encourages cooperation rather then
competition can be very helpful.
SLTBM…clothing
was started to encourage people to feel lucky about the person you are, because
luck isn't just about a four leaf clovers, rabbit’s feet, and horseshoes. It's about the gift of me, who I am, a confident and emotionally healthy
individual. One who is filled with compassion, caring and
understanding. Look at the world today. So much is about improving,
fixing or changing what we have. Whether it’s as simple as your cell
phone or as complex as you, adjustments to the 'outside' are about exterior
show. What's going in the inside is where the integrity lies.
Start teaching your children today that they are special and truly a unique creation.
Not because they have the newest gadget. Our children are overwhelmed with
material things but the greatest gift you can ever give them is a strong sense
of individuality and pride in Who They
Are! Positive messages reinforce positive thoughts and actions. Saying ‘I
am so lucky to b me” is saying “I love myself and I believe in myself”. Embracing
your self, accepting your differences and believing in you, are what being so
lucky is all about.
