  • Much of your success and happiness in life will
    be determined by your level of self-esteem.
  • Strong, positive relationships with your spouse
    and children depend on you having a relatively
    high self-esteem.

  • Your words and actions should convey these
    messages
  • I want to be your mother (or father).
  • I am interested in you and what happens to you.
  • I enjoy being with you.
  • You are a unique person with your own strengths
    and weaknesses.

Your Own Self-beliefs
  • I've got to be perfect if I am to be a good
    parent.
  • I've got to be the boss. I must be in control and
    in charge all the time. My children are the
    products of my will.
  • My children must like me all the time. If they
    don't I will feel depressed and discouraged.
  • My personal value does not depend on how perfect
    I am as a parent. We all make mistakes.
  • My children are individuals. They make choices
    independent of my will. I can slowly grant more
    and more independence to my children as they grow
    older.
  • I enjoy being loved by my children, but I can
    survive without their complete approval. I must
    do what I think is right even though they might
    become upset.
