2023 Annual Conference - "Please do not rescue me": How to empower children to be independent, self-reliant, and boost their self-esteem

The value of "Life Skills" is critical when raising and educating children. The dynamics in many homes and classrooms have taken away opportunities for children to become effective problem solvers and decision makers. Everyday routines put pressure on adults, affecting children's responsibilities and compromising their abilities to take pride in their achievements. As a result, children seek approval from others, hindering development of a positive self-image.

Join us in the dialogue of exploring specific strategies on how adults make sure children feel seen, heard, accepted, loved, secure, and supported in developing a strong sense of self.
