Hide or seek: How to build confidence in your child - Dr. James Dobson

An epidemic of inferiority is raging throughout our society. From the moment children enter the world they are subjected to a value system which reserves respect and esteem for only a select few. Those who fail to measure up - particularly in the areas of intelligence and beauty - are left with feelings of inadequacy. 

James Dobson exposes these pressures and the unjust value system. In their place he presents ten comprehensive strategies to cultivate self-esteem in every child, together with two important new concepts in his counselling: teaching children to be kind and defusing the time-bomb of inferiority. He explains the feelings which typically motivate shyness, aggressiveness, clowning and silliness, apathy and disrespect, and outlines specific positive objectives for parents, teachers and counsellors.

Dr. Dobson asserts that only Christian values free us from the tyranny of self and offer dignity and respect to every human being. Through this better way, children can be given the courage to seek the best, rather than hide in fear and sorrow.
