Lecture 7: self esteem concluded & dorais text & intro to consumerism. Inexperience: borrow standards, cultural blueprints, hurrying kids. Impact of expectations on s-e: kids really want to please their parents. If they can"t live up to super high expectations feel a failure. Child thinks oh i probs couldn"t do it anyway. Lack of faith wipes out any sense of personal value that the child might have had: have to have non-verbal valuing. Faith in their abilities met with reasonable expectations. I"m happy if you try your best, as long as you tried your best you have succeeded: have to have a warm belief in the child. Being their cheerleader being on their side. Warm belief that they are capable and that you are there to facilitate: unconditional approval. Oftentimes, parents only happy if child fits the blue print of expectation: be as i need you, not as you need to be.
