[quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous][b]By being happy to see them after we've been separated. I literally say, "Hi! I'm so happy to see you!" [/b] And by encouraging them to try things that are hard, and to perservere. Then I can remind them of when they worked hard at something difficult and eventually got it.[/quote] The best advice I received on this site was to act delighted to see your kids after separation. I have done it ever since and it's wonderful to see their faces light up when you tell them how happy you are that they're home. I never really thought about it in terms of self-esteem but it's certainly been good for my relationship with them. [/quote]
