Introduction
How children see themselves shapes how they engage the world. One of the biggest differences between winners and losers is that winners believe in themselves and see themselves as worthy of being in the winner's circle.
Helping children to like themselves and to have a positive self-image is the greatest gift any parent can bestow. Positive self-esteem is the key to successful living. The perfect parent doesn't exist. But any parent in any kind of family can find ways to make their children feel good about themselves and to face life on equal terms.
Children don't invent a low self-image for themselves. They learn it from adults, mostly parents. In working with thousands

of young people in three major school systems in two states, I've observed first-hand the power of positive parenting.
As the most significant influences in the lives of children, it's our job to help them experience success, make mistakes without shame and grow up proud of who they are. It happens when we show them they're important, special and capable of winning.
Raising children right is a matter of doing lots of little things that make a big difference later in life. This mini-book of practical ideas contains many of the "little things" that helped in raising our two children to be successful adults. Now they are competent, confident parents starting the same cycle

of success all over again with their children. These simple acts of encouragement and empowerment have worked for many families. They can work for you, too.
No parent can do everything right. But any parent can do lots of right things to establish their child's sense of self-worth. Through caring, listening, praising, reinforcing and taking your child seriously, you can give the gift of self-esteem and make your child a winner. The following suggestions will start you on that road. Why not begin the journey now?
