More about The Self-Esteem Trap:
Kids today are depressed and anxious. They also seem to feel entitled to every advantage and unwilling to make the leap into adulthood. Clarifying an enormous cultural change, THE SELF-ESTEEM TRAP shows why so many young people have trouble with empathy and compassion, struggle with moral values, and are stymied in the face of adversity.
Young-Eisendrath offers prescriptive advice on how adults can help kids—through the teen and young adult years—develop self-worth, setting them on the right track to productive, balanced, and happy lives.
Polly Young-Eisendrath is a psychologist and Jungian analyst.

Unfortunately it’s true that children are more depressed and get more aggressive easier than couple years or decades ago. There are so many destructive things in their environment to get them out of the track.Developing healthy self-esteem is essential for them to face everyday challenges and to live a happy, prosperous life they all deserve.

Happy September!
I would love to read this book, with young girls, I always try to stress to them how important they are and that they should be proud of the person they are. I’m sure this would give me some great ideas to reinforce this to them!
As a tutor, I’ve seen first hand the distorted sense of entitlement so many kids have, a sad by-product of efforts to promote self-esteem without context. I would very much like to read this book and see what the author has to say about it!
