Building Your Child's Positive Self-Concept

Strategies for Students with Learning Differences

Presentor: Gabrielle Rappolt-Schlichtmann, EdD

 

We all want our children to be "happy", to believe in themselves, and to feel good about who they are. But how do we help our children, especially those with learning differences, achieve a positive self-concept? This webinar focused on what a positive self-concept is and strategies for how caregivers can develop this in their children.
