Parents support by encouraging goal setting, rules, what used to be called 'self-discipline.' Kids that know how to set goals, short term and long term, as well as how to formulate a plan to achieve those goals, will have good self esteem-used to be called 'confidence.'Abbey Normal said:Exactly. Accomplishments pave the road to self-esteem, and parents who support you don't hurt.
