Alot has been written in relation to a healthy sense of self.

Teens receive negative messages from society in many ways: peers,
school, tv, society, media and self.

It is essential to empower our teens with positive thoughts.

Society focuses on performance and many teens feel they are " not good
enough", "not smart enough" and simply not valuable.

It is important to praise children and teens for their effort and not
the final outcome.

Positive praise is contagious and can motivate your teen or child to
accomplish many things: chores, good grades, community service,
philanthropic activities and more.

Take time each day to find the gifts in your children and communicate
these gifts to them daily.

Self esteem is about how much we value ourselves and how worthwhile a
child or teen or adul feels about themselves.

Teens struggle to feel accepted and to fit with peers. Development
impacts self esteem.

Academics and grades impact self esteem. If a child or teen feels like
he can not excel in school
His/her self esteem will take a heavy blow since a child and teens job
is to go to school and learn.

Learning what makes one happy and how one can meet their goals.

A positive attitude and healthy life choices is vital to a strong self
esteem.

David Letterman is under fire for making a joke about S Palin’s daughter getting knocked up by a a major league baseball player. I am not saying it is right or wrong however….A politician states it is effecting children and teens self esteem. Media can impact self esteem..yes!

IN the USA we have free speech and free will. We can choose to turn of TV. How many shows are out there that make sexual jokes? We have a TV show called weeds which I have not seen , however, I am told it is a ref to marijuana. I did see an add implying that the star is the hemptress which is clearly a marijuana related term.

We can turn TV’s off and turn the Internet off. There is so much pornography and unhealthy mass hypnosis out there that are bombarding children and teens and polluting our minds.. TV is marketed to the average third grade mind and 98% of society is watching hours per day.

It is up to parents to plant healthy seeds in their children and teens minds. It is up to parents to spend time listening and talking to children and teenagers. It is the parents responsibility to set limits on TV and Internet and video game usage… Parents must set boundaries and say no.. Do you really want TV and the Internet teaching values and ethics to your children??? We must wake up now!!!!
