Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Choice theory states that we choose everything we do, including the misery we feel. We are much more in control of our lives than we realize. We only believe we are victims of our past when we are depressed, but we are actually victims of our own choices. #2 The seeds of all our unhappiness are planted early on when we encounter people who have discovered what is right for them, and try to force us to do what they know is right. The choice we make in how we resist that force is what makes all the difference in how well we get along with others. #3 The psychology of external control is the source of so much misery because it is the belief in and use of coercion and control to get our way. It is the common sense of our ancestors, parents, teachers, and leaders. It has been with us so long that it is considered common sense. #4 The world we live in is full of common sense, which is the basic psychology we use to make decisions. But when it comes to making decisions that affect our relationships, we often rely on external control, which is the psychology of punishment and control.

"A wise and realistic program for instilling genuine self-esteem in children." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review Help your child cultivate real, lasting confidence! In Kid Confidence, a licensed clinical psychologist and parenting expert offers practical, evidence-based parenting strategies to help kids foster satisfying relationships, develop competence, and make choices that fit who they are and want to become. As parents, it’s heartbreaking to hear children say negative things about themselves. But as children grow older and begin thinking about the world in more complex ways, they also become more self-critical. Alarmingly, studies show that self-esteem, for many children, takes a sharp drop starting around age eight, and this decline continues into the early teen years. So, how can you turn the tide on this upsetting trend and help your child build genuine self-esteem? With this guide, you’ll learn that self-esteem isn’t about telling kids they're “special.” It’s about helping them embrace the freedom that comes with a quiet ego—a way of being in the world that isn't preoccupied with self-judgment, and instead embraces a compassionate view of oneself and others that allows for both present awareness and personal growth. When kids are less focused on evaluating and comparing themselves with others, they are freer to empathize with others, embrace learning, and connect with the values that are bigger than themselves. You’ll also discover how your child’s fundamental needs for connection, competence, and choice are essential for real self-esteem. Connection involves building meaningful and satisfying relationships that create a sense of belonging. Competence means building tangible skills. And choice is about being able to make decisions, figure out what matters, and choose to act in ways that are consistent with personal values. When children are able to fulfill these three basic needs, the question of “Am I good enough?” is less likely to come up. If your child is suffering from low self-esteem, you need a nuanced parenting approach. Let this book guide you as you help your child create unshakeable confidence and lasting well-being.
