Oprah’s No Phone Zone PledgeI pledge to make my car a No Phone Zone. Beginning right now, I will do my part to help put an end to distracted driving by pledging the safest driving behavior. I commit to:

___ I will not text while I am driving.

___ I will not text while driving and will use only handsfree calling if I need to speak on the phone while I am driving.

___ I will not text or use my phone while I am driving. If I need to use my phone, I will pull over to the side of the road.

I will ask other drivers I know to do their part to end distracted driving. I pledge to make a difference.

Self Esteem Children with high self esteem are more likely to believe in themselves and have a sense of importance and self respect. Self esteem affects how your children will approach new tasks or challenges and how they interact with others. Children with low self esteem may avoid challenging activities or may give up quickly, quit, or cheat when things aren’t going their way. A child with low self esteem may also be a bully, bossy, controlling, have a low level of self control, and have diffi culty making friends. Children with high self esteem feel a sense of trust, security and feel accepted by others. They understand their own self-worth, have self control and are willing to take on challenging or diffi cult tasks.

To help with building self esteem you can spend lots of time with your children, especially in activities that they enjoy and are good at, and allow them to make some of their own decisions, so they can learn responsibility and can feel that you trust them. Learn to praise your children during adolescence and to pay positive attention to them and teach them how to accept praise for their accomplishments. Avoid criticizing your children too much. Also, do not always rush to rescue your children from frustrating experiences. Instead, try and help them solve the problem themselves.

It can help boost your children’s self esteem if they feel like they are making a positive contribution to the family. Give them age appropriate chores to do (such as setting the table, taking out the garbage, putting her clothes away, etc), and allow them to do them on their own. Even if they aren’t doing the chores perfectly, don’t be quick to jump in and help or correct them.

Keep in mind that many children’s self esteem will drop as they begin adolescence. You can help at this time by making sure that they understand and are prepared for all of the changes their body and mind are going through. Be available for communication and reassure them as much as possible.

Summer is over and school has offi cially started. Volunteering at school is a great way to get a real feel of what goes on at school. See First hand what happens in the halls, the lunchroom or bathrooms. Whether your child is just starting kindergarten, entering the fi nal year of high school, or is somewhere in between, there are many good reasons and opportunities for you to volunteer at school. It’s a great way to show your child that you take an interest in his or her education, and it sends a positive message that you consider school a worthwhile cause. Why Should I Get Involved? The school isn’t the only one to reap the benefi ts of your involvement. By offering some of your time to the school, and by interacting with teachers, administrators, and other parents on a regular basis, you can gain a fi rst-hand understanding of your child’s daily activities and some insight into the trends and fads of school life that will help you communicate with your child as he or she grows and changes (all without intruding on your child’s privacy or personal space). If you’re at a loss for how you can help, just ask your child’s teacher, who will likely be glad to help you think of something! When volunteering at your child’s school, remember that the work you do not only benefi ts your child, but will enrich the classroom, the whole school, and the entire community by providing students with positive interaction, support, and encouragement. You’ll be helping to build skills, confi dence, and self-esteem that will last beyond their school days.

Kirby says, “Don’t be a Bully, Be a Buddy!”

Confidence buildersHey kids, here are some confi dence builders I want you to fi ll out. Or you can stand in front of the mirror and say out loud to yourself. By answering these questions you will see what a precious and special child you are. Because we ALL were created with good qualities even on days we don’t feel like it. It good to stop and think of good things, it gives our hearts and spirits a good dose of happiness.

#1. What qualities make me a good person? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ #2. What is something I say or think to make myself to feel good? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________#3. When have I said something kind or given someone a compliment? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________#4. What is something I say or think to myself to feel good?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
