<p>Healthy Self-Esteem is something that parents have to learn and cultivate within themselves too. &nbsp;In fact, we come face to face with this sometimes when we have children while rectifying our own childhood. &nbsp;Once it is cultivated we become more clear about ways in which it enriches ours and our children. &nbsp;In this episode Laurel Handfield, Owner of Happy Island Press, shares with us how she came to the conclusion that black girls need more representations of their beauty - both inner and outer. &nbsp;</p> <p>We cover things like:</p> <p>Ways our parents unwittingly contribute to our self-esteem issues</p> <p>Ways we can cultivate healthy esteem in our children</p> <p>Why it is important to ensure we take care of ourselves and HOW to do so in a deep and enduring way</p> <p>These are just a few topics. Laurel also shares a free tool you can access to work to continuously build your own and your children's self-esteem in a fun and creative way.</p> <p>You can access the free book here: https://www.happyislandpress.com</p>
