The good news for today is that your children won't need many toys or designer clothes to build their self-esteem. Self-esteem begins with the security of having a loving family. It is important to emphasize that self-esteem, specifically in girls, depends on the relationship that they have with their father rather than on the relationship that they maintain with their mother. Always tell your children how beautiful or cute they look, hug them and highlight the physical features of them that you like the most. Increase your children's self-esteem by spending a little quality of time with them (remember that quality is always better than the amount of time). Always tell them that you love them and that you are proud to be their mother. If they feel that they are loved at home and that mom and dad are proud of them, no one will take away their self-esteem even when the turbulent times of adolescence come.
