[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I do, sometimes I let it go. I will say that my mom NEVER called out these kinds of omissions, even when they were egregious, and I think it contributed to my sense of being less important than other people. Which is OK in some ways (I think a lot of people have inflated self-esteem) and a problem in others.[/quote] I am the PP who asked specifically about how to handle when the kid has self image issues, and I appreciate this response. My instinct is always to go to bat for my kid, but these kinds of parental interventions are often seen very negatively by other parents and some school personnel, so I'm wary. My kid is younger than OPs (1st grade) which I gather is a factor. I definitely don't expect her to be able to advocate perfectly for herself at this age.[/quote]
