Positive Thinking for Kids
by Elizabeth Pantley
author of "Kid Cooperation, Perfect Parenting & more
 During their
growth and development, children go through many stages of self-doubt. They are always
comparing themselves to others, and they often see themselves as coming up short. As
parents, we can offset this natural tendency in our children by giving them the skills to

can stay focused in the right direction. We'll look at some typical negative statements
from children, along with some positive responses from their wise parents. Modeling a
positive attitude is one of the most effective ways of teaching your children. Children
learn what they live. Find out more.
