| Self-Esteem
is the Key |
| Your
own self-esteem is the key to your ability to succeed at work
and as a parent. Your child's self-esteem is the key to success
at school, with friends, and in your home. Self-esteem is the
basis for everything else we do as parents. Let's do it right!
This tape describes self-esteem and the children who have it.
It shows how we parents may damage self-esteem. The tape offers
ten very practical suggestions that parents can start using immediately.
Some of the ten suggestions that are depicted are: understand
and appreciate each child as an individual, provide opportunities
to feel success, allow your child to make decisions, do correction
in a positive way, and "catch them being good". |

| Communication
is Crucial |
| Establishing
a framework for discussion when children are young is important.
There are so many serious problems kids can have these days...drugs,
pregnancy, even AIDS, we certainly want to be the ones they turn
to. If we block communication in their early years, we won't be
the ones they turn to. That's scary! This tape teaches the basics
of good communication. You'll learn about sending and receiving
messages, helping your child when he or she has a problem, and
how to get your needs met. You'll be aware of several roadblocks
to communication...and much more. |

| Discipline
Makes the Difference |
| Discipline
is training our children to behave in socially-acceptable ways.
It helps them develop self-control...and it's not easy! No one
method of discipline works with all children and no method works
every time. Parents must place a high priority on discipline so
that today will be peaceful and so children will grow up to be
happy, successful adults. |
