Self-Esteem Issues

Do you know someone in your life who has self-esteem issues? Or do you struggle with this yourself?

I am here to help. Don't waste your money on seminars or self-help or self-love books. Don't follow the talk-show gurus and their nonsense.

MamaHen will help you with two easy steps. Here you go:

1) Get you a very cute precious little four year old. If he has reddish-blond hair and bright blue eyes it will be even better. And if he has a sprinkling of freckles across his noise you are in business. (The picture below is the perfect example. But you can't have him-he is mine!)

2) Teach him this:
You say: "James (insert your own four year old's name), you are so handsome!"

He says: "Momma, you are so skinny!"

And then both of you hug and kiss and laugh together at how clever both of you are.

There you go. Two easy steps.

Now, how come I'm not rolling in the big bucks?

Thanks to Lisa at The Pennington Point who mentioned this on her blog and I followed her advice. So I guess she should get all the big money. It really works! :)

    Can you just get him to call me every so often and tell me I'm skinny?

    Oh, I need someone to tell me I'm skinny, too! ;) Actually, I do have a child who likes to say how much she likes your shirt, your hair, etc. She is such a flatterer, just like your James! :)

    What a cutie.

    I have an almost four year old and he needs to stop growing or we'll have to try for more;)

    I love it! Everyone needs a toddler around. They definitely kill the self-esteem issues. Lisa~

    Thanks for the tip, I could use some encouragement in that department these days...I hate when I get to the point in pregnancy when my maternity clothes don't even fit :)

    Oh, what a grand idea!! Do you think the 12 and up crowd could be trained for such dialogue?? :) (He is totally precious, by the way!)
