Helping kids develop positive self-worth
First introduced by psychologist William James over a century ago, the term self-esteem has become synonymous with participation ribbons, unwarranted praise and unneeded ego-stroking on the part of parents, coaches and teachers. Self-esteem, however, or a person’s concept of personal self-worth, is far from pop psychology fluff. Per today’s top researchers in the field of neurology and child development, self-esteem is foundational to healthy childhood development. Research published by the US Department of Health and Human Services links healthy self-esteem to better overall physical and emotional health, improved problem-solving, better relationships and lower levels of stress. Building healthy self-esteem begins early, but caregivers can help self-worth flourish at any age. Here’s how.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
