Self-esteem, Self-image and Self-concept

What is self-esteem, self-image and self-concept?

Self-esteem is the feelings we have about ourselves.

Self-image is the picture we have of ourselves in our mind.

Self-concept is what we think about ourselves.

The way to improve our success in life is to improve our thoughts, image and feelings. As adults, we have the power to affect those children’s self-esteem, self-image and self-concept.

Yesterday morning when I was in bed, I heard a mother screaming at… Continue

A Mom with PPD Debates Having Another Child

By Karen Bannister

From The Momoir Project Blog

www.themomoirproject.com

I am a young girl, playing on the sidewalk that forms a white border around the yellow stone house of my childhood. And in the summer breeze, alone except for the whistle of the wind in the trees and the distant cries of other children playing in the hot, bright sun, I step into the grooves and cracks in the pavement, slipping my jelly shoe feet into the parts in between. I try, concentrating all… Continue

Back to school on a budget with Phil Lempert

Kids heading back to school? Mine have been back for three weeks now and aside from daily homework woes, my biggest challenge is coming up with healthy, yummy lunches for them to take to school each day. The first week, I did so well! But every day since, I've wracked my brain and our cupboards searching for… Continue

Giving You the 411 on 911 Situations

We all have those 911 moments in life. Although being an adult does come with its share of paperwork but sadly there is no manual. I mean seriously, what is up with all the paperwork? Anyway, I had some 911 situations come up and learned some lessons the hard way. Is there an easy way to learn a lesson? I know not, but any event I hope these tips help you.

Going to the ER --Do you stay or do you go?

In my house, a trip to the ER stirs up quite a bit of debate. Do we stay… Continue

Achieve Your Desires - Little Known Secret

Do you want to improve your life? Do you want a clean bill of health? Do you want a happy, stress free life with peace of mind? Do you want to have financial freedom?

Everybody knows they want to live a healthy, happy, stress free life with peace of mind. Everybody knows they want financial freedom. The irony is most people are unwilling to do the work to create the health, happiness, stress free life with peace of mind that they claim they desire.

Everybody says they want… Continue

How To Start School Right this Year

I love the start of a new school year. It is a great time to really think through

and evaluate how I want this year to be better for my kids than last year.

I also love helping parents to overcome problems homeschoolers face

each year and showing them how to start school on the

right foot...so this year is the best year ever.

I'd like to invite you to a LIVE webinar I am holding

HAVE SPORTS BEEN GOOD FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

When I got my second call from Brevitt’s teacher, in a three day span, I hung up the phone and had to think for a few moments. Almost ten, Brevitt is becoming a calmer and less anxious boy and is learning how to respect authority. So why was he getting into trouble? I could understand the teacher’s fear that energetic Brevitt and his pack of friends were going to be the bain of his existence for yet another year but I felt the need to tell him to give Brevitt a chance and to practice patience… Continue

Execu-what?

Not sure who she is, but she sounds like me, and her concepts are oddly familiar, and rather intriguing. Looks to me like she put on eyeshadow and earrings to channel her inner "Heeeyyyyy!", and dared to venture into the scary world of video blogging.

I think I like… Continue

Anxiety

I have always been an introvert. It has never been easy for me to put myself out there. To meet new people. To speak up. To have attention on me. (I don't even like when every sings "Happy Birthday" and that is family!)

In the years since my first marriage and having my son things have gotten worse. I have full out anxiety. I don't have anxiety attacks per se (I save those for times I don't know where my son is!) but my IBS will flare up, my stomach will hurt, and I'll have to run… Continue

Men Hate Uggs and I Don't Blame Them

Uggs. *sigh* So comfy...so warm...sooooo

Over it.

Before I get into the nitty gritty about why I am so over Uggs, let me just start by saying that I have a love/hate relationship with the soft, smooth, furry boots known as Uggs. I will not sit here and act like I do not have a pair (or two) in my closet, nor will I sit here and act like I don't absolutely LOVE wearing what I refer to as the "most comfortable shoe on the planet. PERIOD." With that being said, I have started… Continue
