Teaching Our Children Self Respect

Teaching our children self-respect begins with the way we treat our children from the beginning of their lives. From the moment our children are born we are molding them in the direction they will ultimately embark once they reach the age of four or five.

Self-respect can be explained as knowing that you are valuable and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Self-respect leads to having positive self-esteem, which ultimately controls our success, happiness and how well we will develop emotionally throughout our journey.  Having too much self-respect, too much self-esteem, can be viewed more or less as conceited.
