Follow Up:  Self Esteem

2/14/2017

​Tell me about something you did this week with self esteem or something you learned or thought about OR what you are doing for Valentine’s Day.
 
Class member:  Later today I’m going to visit my Mom in Twin Falls because it’s my Mom’s birthday and anniversary.
 
Class member:  My daughter’s hair was ratty and I said you better go brush your hair so you aren’t a ragamuffin.  She was in her room with the blanket over her head because I called her a “muffin”.  I was calling her names.  That was a fail.
 
Class member:  I wrote each of my kids a “love note”.  My son that isn’t very emotional looked at me and gave me a genuine “thank you”. 
 
Class member:  I took the class last semester.  Our kids picked names for Valentine’s Day.  My 15 year old daughter had our son that was on a mission.  She cut out pictures of my son and his companion and made a “Missionary’s Guide to Surviving Valentine’s Day”.  My missionary son on his mission had the Sister Missionaries sing a son to my 8 yr old in Spanish.
 
Class member:  Every holiday I decorate the dining room table and they really look forward to it.  It’s not that hard to do, but it really excites them.  I only decorate that day that morning and it’s gone by bedtime.
 
Class member:  I’m a tired Mom.  I just go to the store and by a $1 chocolate box and a note. 
 
Class member:  My Mom always made cream of wheat cereal and decorated the cream of wheat with colored sugar.  Today I did a pastry with nutella and gave up my tradition so they could have something they liked.  They don’t like Cream of Wheat. 
 
Class member:  My older girls decided by themselves, they invented a ‘heart man’ like Santa and they go buy things for the little kids to surprise them.
 
Class member:  My husband and I decided to make a photo book to give to our kids on Valentine’s day.  It will remind them that they love each other and we have a good time.  They almost didn’t get out the door on time because they just wanted to look at it.
 
Class member:  Over the years we have done different things.  We have done “Heart Attack”.  Tonight we will have a family dinner to celebrate.
 
The school Valentine’s activities don’t bond them to the family.  They don’t have to be big they just have to be regular.
