It discussed how important self- esteem/self confidence is and how to make sure that your children have it. Key points are that your child should have a realistic view of himself and know what he is good at and not so good out- the things he is good at you should try to focus on and compliment him about. Also kids need your TIME, LOVE (no matter what they do wrong) and attention. Spending family time is also very important and parents need to show respect for one another. It was very informative… get the tape… it is worth listening to.
CD-s of lecture
I was told CD’s are available at the Yeshiva offices in Crown Heights
