Ten Books to Inspire Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem in Kids

Ten Books to Inspire Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem in Kids

When I was a kid, we didn’t hand out Valentines to everyone in our class (and they were not at all Pinterest worthy). In sports, we didn’t all receive trophies for participating. And, we didn’t have to feel guilty about not inviting the entire class to our birthday parties. Egos got bruised for sure.
