Working as a parent coach, I am often amazed at how many children have low self-esteem. I deeply believe that parents mean well, and want to help their children create high self-esteem for their lifetimes. High self-esteem comes from being listened to, respected, and acknowledged. I have been coaching many parents to focus more on their children and to be truly present with their children. In our busy society today, parents are often distracted while thinking about their work and life's stressors. They interrupt their children either verbally or by being preoccupied in their own minds with their own thoughts. To be a better parent, it is important that you master the skill of deeply tuning in, and listening fully with your heart. Children long for connection and to be heard. Today, I have been thinking about the people that I have been coaching to become better parents as well as those that I have been teaching to become coaches to those parents. I very much want to impact the way children in our society are raised, and truly hope that parents will create time each day to deeply tune in, connect, and fully be present to one of the greatest gifts on this planet, their children.
