I have a degree in psychology. I have curated this first anthology of essays, addressing the issues of helping children and adolescents to develop self-confidence, which is intended as a guide for parents and educators.

"Boosting self-esteem in children and adolescents" is a helpful and clearly edited manual for parents.

This anthology of essays offers parents essential advice to prevent and alleviate low self-esteem in their children. Healthy self-esteem works as the child's protection against the challenges of their family and social environments. Kids who learn to manage their strengths and weaknesses feel better about themselves.

They develop strategies to survive conflicts and resist external pressures and internal negative feelings. A child who has learned self-esteem smiles and enjoys his or her life. He or she becomes more realistic and optimistic. This is a manual for adults which shows how to teach their children the skills for improving self-confidence and find happiness. It tells readers how to create the grounds for instilling positive strength in their kids and building a brightened future for them.

A bit more about myself: I am mother of two, and grandmother of 6 grandchildren, who are all in their teens. After 50 years in NY as a house wife, I now live in California with my husband Philip where I finally maintain a very relaxing life style.

Our family includes two cats, and a dog, Billy.
