How Does It Feel To Be One Of The Beautiful People?

Opening Ceremony London Olympics 2012 Swedish Team

The Olympics show kids so many good things about people. The qualities of persistence, excellence, team spirit, as well as qualities the child may lack. Do all children have the talent, skill, and opportunity to train to see if they have the talent and skill to be an Olympian? Are all children physically perfect and beautiful according to the world's highest standards? Are all children fed every day so they even have the energy to play? How many of the world's children will even live to age five? As John Lennon wrote, "Do they even know its Christmas?" do most of the world's kids even know its the Olympics? I appreciated the segment of the Opening Ceremonies that spotlighted children's literature and the National Health Service, especially the signing kids. And I'm looking forward to watching the athlete with prosthetic legs run. Let's declare its a new world for all kids and their families.

We can share the excitement and thrill of these games, it is fun; also finding ways to encourage a good self image in kids at the same time. I don't know the percentage of kids that make it to the Olympics--certainly less than the infamous 1%. So I guess the rest of of  are the 99.99%.

One of the cutest things I've ever seen.

 1. Developing Your Child's Self Esteem

It is important to think about what all the family needs: anyone hungry? angry? lonely? tired? (That was Maslow's Hierarchy in four words.)

2. Positive Self-Esteem

Helping kids realize they are empowered to help, in his/her home, at school, and church, and in the entire world; this is the best building block of self esteem. So, if you want to model helping the world...
