| Publisher Description: In Self-Esteem Revolutions In Children, Thomas Phelan describes "self-esteem revolutions" as the sweeping changes that youngsters experience in the foundations of self-respect as they mature. These "revolutions" include the transition from self-esteem based simply on unconditional parental love to self-esteem that is based on the conditional acceptance of other people, as well as based on competence. Another motivator with children is the development of "Great Evaluator" inside each child, which constantly gives feedback about how well youngsters are doing in the social, academic, physical and character dimensions of their lives. Self-Esteem Revolutions In Children is essential reading for any parent, teacher, or care-giver. "--This text refers to the Paperback edition." Copyright: Midwest Book Review" |
