We all want our children to develop confidence, a solid sense of self-esteem that can sustain them over time. It is an invisible but decisive process, the weaving of self-esteem, drawing in threads of experience every day, threads that will last a lifetime. If those threads are made of humiliation, failure, and embarrassment, then the cloth will not be worn with much comfort. We should do everything we can to see to it that the threads are made of success, confidence, and a sense of the fairness of things.
