Boosting your child's self-esteem

How to boost your child's self-esteem
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

Raising their self-esteem is the first step toward a healthy goal. Parents using the words 'fat' or 'overweight' with regard to their children could possibly trigger a fast-track decision to dieting and possibly eating disorders. Make sure you compliment them on the way they look rather than criticise.
