Absolutely love this ...The courage to be yourself!! Absolutely love this topic and I am so pleased I came across this post. My daughter has struggled with self esteem issues since her 6th birthday. It is amazing to think that even a child of 6 can begin to feel the pressures of modern society, and the expectations of what is "beautiful". I found a book on amazon called "Little Brown Animal" by author DiMari Bailey(http://www.dimaribailey.com/). I can honestly say this has become one of the best teaching tools in my bag of tricks. The little brown animal in the book sees and compares himself to the other forest critters and wants their "beautiful" features. He goes through a journey of self discovery that eventually leads to him being the one to teach the younger animals the lessons he has learned. This is a book that will teach your children that they are special and one of a kind, and that they have their own unique beauty to be proud of.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975981755720989921noreply@blogger.com
