Cultural reference points

There is no such thing as ‘good’ hair, ‘good’ skin or a ‘good’ nose. Let’s try and be mindful when using the term ‘good’ as a compliment.

Giving your child a voice

Creating a balance between teaching your child respect whilst also encouraging them to use their voice can help build self-esteem and self-worth. One way to give your child a voice is by involving them in small-scale decision making. Try and be supportive when they offer opinions and ideas, even at times when you do not necessarily agree.
