Self-esteem and early memories
What made your early years special?
What builds a child's self-esteem and joy isn't always fancy new gadgets. A child's earliest memories of home, comfort, and being loved may come from experiences that adults forget. Memories of playing on the floor with toy trains, proudly hanging up one's own coat, laughing over toys knocked to the floor from a high chair, or riding the rocking horse and watching Mom bake cookies establish a foundation for internal joy and happiness that carries into life. Treat the little loved one in your life to some of these happy memory-building moments!
