BElieve in YOUrself!

"It is easier to build strong children
than to repair broken men."
~Frederick Douglas

I think one of the most, if not THE most, important lesson you'll ever teach a child is self-confidence. The activities, people, careers, entertainment, and almost everything we fill our life with is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Therefore, it is a gift to your child to teach them to feel PROUD of who they are! To be comfortable in their own skin! To be authentic!

To me, this picture from Cassie of Beyond Measure says it all. Her son, Caleb, ASKED his mom to take this picture. It screams of a young man who knows who he is and is proud of it! I wish everyone, with special needs or not, felt this happy to be who they are! (Thanks for letting me share, Cassie!)




I've compiled a board on Pinterest (kidz ~ building self esteem) with quotes & thoughts about building self esteem. Here are just a few, but check all of them out when you have a chance! (Images linked to sources.)
