As a parent I would like to know some ideas or tips to help boost my children’s self esteem. It seems that they both struggle with not having much self confidence in what they are doing, mostly in school. They are very bright but doubt themselves in most things they do. Does anyone have any helpful ideas or tips that I can try? Thanks!

Resources to Support Challenging Child Behavior
Situation:
Situation:
As an educational consultant in schools, I often see young children at desks with their feet dangling, the chairs are too high. Could this be a factor affecting behavior and if so what can I tell teachers to do?
Situation:
My son will not try any new foods. When I even ask him to just take a bite of something different he starts yelling. How can I get him to try something new?
Situation:
I work with older students who always fight about who is first in line. Our transitions are difficult to begin with but this makes it even worse. Do you have any suggestions?
Situation:
At school, my 12 year old Autistic son was working in class with a speech therapist when he just peed on himself. I was told he had gone to the bathroom before. Then he was told to pick up cards he pushed on the floor. When they turned around he was wet. He had an accident the same day and the day before. How can I help him stop this behavior?
