Babies and AgeEsteem
When In Doubt, Laugh!

Laughter is healthy: Babies are often good entertainers, making it easy to laugh; and they usually join in the laughter rapidly.  Laughter is healthy for all of us as every age.  Use it generously.  Even when Baby is upset you can spark laughter by singing  If You’re Happy And You Know It.  Laughter lightens the atmosphere and dissipates doubt.

• Look for the humor in every situation.
• Laugh often.
• Learn to laugh at yourself.
• Store funny experiences or jokes in your mind where you can call on them when you need a laugh.

People with AgeEsteem laugh often!

Babies and AgeEsteem
Modeling Personal Age-esteem

How can you instill AgeEsteem in a newborn is a question that puzzled me.

The answer is actually quite simple.  To teach AgeEsteem we need to model our own age-esteem.  We simply need to be ourself, to love the child and help her develop her own personality and independence.  We do this through example and encouragement.  And while we’re doing this, Baby will teach us how to reconnect with some basic qualities of AgeEsteem.

How do you model your age-esteem to children?

Is It Ever Too Early?

When our first grandchild was born I wondered how I could teach her to become confident and to feel good about herself at each age, beginning the moment I first held her.

Is it ever too early to teach AgeEsteem?  I know it’s never too late.  We can gain AgeEsteem until the day we leave this earth.   So I’d like to believe that we can transmit the ideas of confidence and feeling good about yourself at every age even to a newborn baby.

I’m convinced we can begin growing personal age-esteem from birth.  What do you think?
