Let’s face it being a kid or teen in today’s society can be tough. Our kids especially our girls need us to be their biggest cheerleaders, to back them up, and hold them up when everyone else around them is tearing them down. Kids and teens can be so cruel, picking on each other, putting each other down, that being a kid in today’s world brings about feelings in them that can weight on their minds and do a world of hurt on their self-esteem.
That is why as parents, especially moms we need to pick up the pieces and we need to be a strong source of encouragement emphasizing our children’s strong points and helping them understand what’s really important, boosting their self-esteem and building their character.
Spend time listening to your child, look for the things that they do well and point those things out to them. We all have talents and abilities, you can help your child to see and be proud of theirs. Also helping them to see that they don’t have to live up to the expectations of others, especially that of their peers is also important.
Whatever you do, be on the sidelines in your child’s life, cheering them on, in good times and in bad, it will make a huge difference in their daily life and give them the confidence they need to face just about anything.

thanks a lot for this Alyssa… i have a 13 yo daughter and it’s sometimes a struggle for me in trying to keep up with her moods. Most of the time I forget that she’s also going through a lot of things in school and with her friends, and that she only needs my affirmation and my confidence in her.
That is a great reminder for me. My daughter is 7 and if I want her to respect my opinion when she is a teenager, I need to be cheering for her now.
