In this chapter, we offer positive steps that you can take to help your child grow to the fullest possible potential. To do that, we fill in the background on how self-esteem forms and what goes into building a healthy sense of self. We alert you to some of the ways cancer treatments can have a negative impact on that. Finally, we end with 10 strategies to foster your child's self-esteem.
