The school bells are already ringing, announcing the start of a new school year.
Here at Positive Parental Participation, we are joining the celebration.
We believe that building self-esteem is of critical importance. Do you?
Studies show that children with a positive self-image:
- Are more likely to take on new challenges
- Have greater school success
- Make friends more easily
- Do not become bullies or the victims of bullies
Many children are in school for eight hours a day. Little ones in daycare facilities while their parents are working may be there for even longer periods of time.
Isn’t it important for teachers and other child-care providers to have the best resources available to succeed in this important task?
