Some parents constantly are telling children, \u201cDo this\u201d or \u201cDon\u2019t do this.\u201d Life is filled with dos and don\u2019ts.<\/p>\n
But a child\u2019s self-esteem isn\u2019t founded on performance; it\u2019s rooted in being. Who we are is far more important than what we do.<\/p>\n
Help your child mature by emphasizing who he or she is. Tell a child, \u201cYou are \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 Fearfully and wonderfully made by God.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Full of potential and promise.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Capable of doing anything through Christ who strengthens you.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Loved and accepted by both God and me.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Talented and gifted.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Intelligent and sensitive.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Special and unique.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Loving and kind.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t a complete list. You need to complete it. It\u2019s just to get you started. Make a list now for your child. Begin to focus on who your child is in Christ Jesus, not what they can do. You are \u2026<\/p>\n
