Today's children are riddled with shots that chip away at their self-esteem and self-worth. From bullying-whether overt or passive-to learning disabilities to familial dysfunction to peer pressure, they are constantly under fire. Positive self-talk, a concept culled from Devin C. Hughes' autobiography "Contrast," is a crucial, effective strategy anyone can use to build their self-esteem and self-worth. This version of the Self Talk comic includes a short series of worksheets for use at home or in the classroom.
