Editorial Reviews

Praise for Self Esteem

"We can only give out what we put in and the younger we are when we develop self-care systems that support healthy self-esteem, the happier we are in this world. Having worked with young people for over 20 years has shown me that when a child believes in their gifts and talents, they are better equipped internally for success. I highly recommend Edie and Dr. Judy's book, Self Esteem: Simple Ways to Increase Your Child's Confidence During Adolescence [as] an essential support guide to help build our children's sense of worth and value and to know that they matter." —Lauren E. Miller, Author/Speaker/Educator, LaurenEMiller.com
