Book excerpt: The greatest gift that can be given to a child during the early, formative years, is the encouragement and guidance to develop a healthy self-esteem/self-worth. Its development provides the child the probability of having self-respect, having respect for others, believing that they are a child of God, that they have a purpose in life, and that they are worthy. It affects relationships with friends, relationships within the family, relationships when attending school, relationships in the workplace, relationships while serving in leadership, and relationships in general during life. When healthy self-esteem/self-worth is not developed in the early formative years, it is difficult to develop later in life. It is not impossible but difficult. Habits and attitudes that are not favorable are likely to develop and are difficult to change. The parenting style in raising children is important, and this book gives research and support for the authoritative parenting style as being best. Parenting is the most important job we have in life. How we parent can shape a child's perception as to the importance for becoming a responsible, productive person
