By:  Robert D. Ramsey

Mia Padgett, Mueller Elementary's Social Worker, has chosen several of the 501 ways to Boost Your Child's Self Esteem.  Please take the time to read and follow these simple rules to ensure a happy and healthy child.

Hug your child every day.

Do more bragging than nagging.

Be more optimistic.  It's catching.

Teach your child that there's more than one kind of family.

Save the best twinkle in your eye for your child.

Never be embarrassed to say, "I Love You."

Don't draw a line in the sand during a sandstorm.  You shouldn't pick the worst possible time to take a stand.

Catch your child being good.

Don't expect consistency, logic, unselfishness or other miracles from your child.

Really listen to your child.  Don't interrupt or finish his sentences.
