About this Quote

This quote by Virginia Satir highlights the importance of parental habits in forming a kid's self-regard. Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action that a moms and dad makes sends a message to the kid about their worth. Unfortunately, many moms and dads are uninformed of the messages they are sending and the effect they have on their child's self-esteem. Parents need to bear in mind their habits and the messages they are sending out to their kids. Positive support and encouragement can help children establish a healthy sense of self-worth and confidence. On the other hand, unfavorable messages can have a destructive result on a child's self-esteem. It is very important for moms and dads to be knowledgeable about the messages they are sending out and to strive to create a positive environment for their kids.
