Como Ensenar Autoestima - Tapa blanda

A person's self-esteem is based on real facts and achievements, and it is the single most important psychological tool to facilitate relationships with other people. Without self-esteem, kids doubt themselves and wilt under the pressure of their classmates, making them feel inferior and worthless—oftentimes seeking alcohol and drugs for an escape. This guide for parents and teachers is a step-by-step program meant to be used from first grade through middle school. It teaches the three most important skills in life: how to create self-esteem, how to be conscious of ones' self, and how to be assertive in a positive way. La autoestima de cualquier persona se basa en hechos y logros verdaderos—es la habilidad psicológica más importante que se puede desarrollar para poder desenvolverse en la sociedad. Sin autoestima, los niños dudan de ellos mismos, se doblegan ante la presión de sus compañeros, se sienten inferiores y sin valía y pueden buscar en las drogas o el alcohol su apoyo. Esta guía para maestros y padres es un programa paso por paso que puede ser utilizado desde los años avanzados de primaria hasta el final de la educación media. Enseña las tres hablilidades importantes para la vida: cómo formar la autoestima, cómo ser conciente de uno mismo y cómo ser asertivo de manera positiva.
