Did you know that 7 out of every 10 children who grow up with low self-esteem will believe they are NOT good enough or don't measure up in some way. That includes their looks, performance in school (later in their job), and relationships with their friends and family.
Here's the problem you face: as a society, kids with low self-esteem are bullied, teased, get manipulated by their friends or others, easily are peer pressured into making poor decisions, and they grow up feeling like they never fit in or are good enough.
Which means you will worry about them NOT experiencing everything they could, and not getting what they deserve.
You'll watch them constantly be self-critical and hard on themselves.
You'll have to hear them tell you they aren't as good as other kids.
You'll listen while they recount all the times they failed rather than succeeded at something.
You'll witness them fear trying anything new because they doubt they can do anything well.
You'll experience them struggle at learning new things in school because they don't think they are smart enough or talented enough.
You'll have to see them cower down to others and be pushed around because they don't feel they can stand up for themselves.
And worst of it all...you know they are smart enough, good enough, talented enough, and good-looking, but they are holding themselves back from experiencing life and following their dreams.

In the image-driven world of middle school, I'm a pretty happy and somewhat popular kid. I am navigating through the new challenges, making friends, and figuring things out pretty well. But, during 8th grade math class, my basketball coach (who I really looked up to) stood up and told the whole class I was TERRIBLE at math and should just skip trying to take any advanced math courses like Algebra the rest of high school.
After my self-esteem and self-image is shattered into hopeless pieces, I try to play it off like it didn't affect me. I nervously chuckled to my friends sitting around me and slipped out of class like nothing happened when the period buzzer rang. I ignored what he told me for weeks. But, the first test after that moment showed I needed to accept some facts. I needed help and enlisted some of my friends to tutor me to get better so I could prove I didn't suck, and I could take Algebra and pass.
But, the more I memorize and try to learn the concepts of math the more I feel stupid. I just couldn't get my grade up no matter what I tried to do. Flip cards, long hours studying, and doing my own personal quizzes didn't seem to make any difference. I begin to think my math teacher / basketball coach is right. I am terrible at math.
I needed to learn something even more powerful than math if I was to conquer math and prove he was wrong. I needed to learn the secret of belief...belief in myself and my own potential. That I am good enough, I am smart enough, I am tough enough, and I am capable of anything I set my mind to do.
I risk looking like a complete fool when I enroll myself in 9th grade Algebra, but I worked all summer on believing that if I put my mind to it and worked hard I would achieve my ultimate goal of proving I am smart enough. That 9th grade year, I passed Algebra and made it safely to the other side and found something strong inside myself, hope. I was free of the chains my basketball coach created.
With that knowledge I am now helping other kids bounce back from being timid, shy, criticized, or bullied.
