Re:Negative self-image - 2006/09/01 01:56
My teenage son also had a similar problem. He was constantly putting himself down. He bullied himself. But I never grew tired of making sure that he heard the positive truth from me. I would fight back every negative remark he made until I grew accustomed to always reminding him of his talents and positive traits. Yes, it did take patience but I believe that any loving parent with concern for his/her child’s self-concept can climb this mountain successfully. My teenager isn’t a teen anymore, he’s in college studying but he did thank me for reminding him that he can achieve what he puts his mind to.
