A brilliant self-esteem enhancement resource

As a former founding member of the National Association for Self-Esteem, I've often found myself reading and reviewing self-esteem books, curricula and other materials. Many are of the "let's get the kids to feel good" variety or even worse. This book is lightyears beyond that. It's a really thoughtful compendium of classroom-tested techniques for helping students to explore and enhance their self-esteem and to do so with the guidance of adults: parents, teachers and counselors. When we get one more horror story in the news about young people doing some destructive act or engaging in self-destructive behavior, I'm again saddened that books of this quality are not in the hands of every teacher in our nation. I believe if these kinds of strategies were in use more consistently, we'd see a real decline in those negative stories and a perceptible rise in stories of children engaging in self-development and community service. This is a must read book for anyone concerned with education of young people in America. It's extremely practical as well as thought provoking.

Great tool for educators

This book is a great tool for educators who are looking for practical and effective ways of increasing their students' self-esteem and sense of personal responsibility. The authors' dedication to this worthwhile goal is clearly evident on every page of this book. Their suggested activities are well thought-out, described in helpful detail -- and really do work in the classroom.
