A person’s acceptance of themselves is a very important foundation for achieving psychological balance and building self-esteem, which affects more than 80% of a person’s success in life.

Not only may our young child suffer from negative feelings toward themselves, but we as adults also sometimes struggle to accept ourselves.

When a child does not accept themselves, they lose their spontaneity and creativity. They begin to doubt their value and abilities, and negative feelings start to penetrate deeply within them. This affects their thinking, behavior, and their feelings toward life and toward others.

Through these stories, you help your young child learn strategies of positive thinking and psychological flexibility that they can apply when they experience situations in which they feel self-rejection due to negative comparison, feelings of jealousy, or frustration. They learn how to think positively and how to transform their negative emotions into positive ones. As a result, they accept themselves, sense their value, accept others as well, and even enjoy their uniqueness.

Seize the first five years, during which your child’s character, emotions, and thinking are formed, and read to them the story “I Am Wonderful” to help them throughout their life acquire strategies of positive thinking that enable them to accept themselves and shape a positive self-concept. In doing so, they will think wonderfully and feel that they are wonderful. Perhaps it may help you as an adult as well.

You will also find additional exercises after the story to reinforce the objectives and concepts presented in it.
