The New Hide Or Seek: Building Self-esteem in Your ChildOur children are in the midst of a crisis of confidence! From the moment they enter the world, children are subject to a value system that reserves respect and esteem for only a select few. Those who fail to measure up to society's standards - primarily in the areas of beauty and intelligence-must learn to cope with feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. Over the past twenty-five years, more than a million parents and teachers have benefited from Dr. James Dobson's insightful counsel in the classic Hide or Seek. Now revised and updated, The New Hide or Seek provides a new generation of parents with practical pointers for raising self-confident, healthy children. |
