Der Schatz des Selbstwerts

Not only since the pandemic have we seen how great the need of our children is. Child and adolescent therapist Ulrike Döpfner experiences it time and again: problems with social contacts, difficulties in separating from parents, conflicts at school – all of these stem from self-esteem issues and a lack of self-love.

With a wealth of background information, practical tips, and exercises, Döpfner addresses this largely overlooked component of healthy upbringing and demonstrates that strong self-esteem is the protective factor that helps children develop a stable personality. Does praise really strengthen self-esteem? How can parents promote intrinsic motivation instead of dependence on good grades in their children? Fostering self-esteem is the greatest gift parents can give their children. Short stories to help find a playful approach to difficult topics together with the child complement this book for parents with children in preschool and elementary school age (3 to 12 years).
