How to Avoid Poisoning Your Child’s Confidence
What happens to a child who begins to internalize from a young age, “I’m a bad kid, I’m slow so I’m not smart, I’m always in trouble, my parents are never happy with me, there’s something wrong with me, or I’m not as smart as my siblings?” That will sabotage yourchild’s success and relationships for a lifetime. Kirk shows you how to cultivate your child’s confidence and guiding internal dialogue.
