The Importance of Healthy Self-Esteem in Young Children
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgLRjrHbGG8
No child should EVER feel this way!
Our Rationale Advocacy Statement:
“I am NOT beautiful like YOU, I am beautiful like ME".
Having positive regard about ourselves in realistic ways.
Young children today stress too much about their outside
appearance.
Embrace yourself.
There are many sources available to help.
There's always going to be a battle to be yourself.
Society sends messages to young children to be someone
they can’t be.
Self- Esteem affects the overall health of the developing child.
