Encouragement, Self-fulfilling Prophecy, And How We Influence This In Our Kids

<div data-pm-slice="1 1 []" data-en-clipboard="true">In this episode of the podcast I wanted to talk about encouragement and self-fulfilling prophecy. I recently wrote a quote into my quote book that was the inspiration for this episode. It goes like this: The friend said, "Elsa, You have a wrong picture of yourself." Elsa replied, "Even if that is true, what does a person do about it?  The things your parents say to you, and the things your husband doesn't say to you, become a mirror, don't they? You see yourself as they see you, and no matter how far you come, you bring that mirror with you."</div> <div> </div> <div>Based on that quote, I want to talk about the following topics:</div> <div> </div> <ul> <li> <div>The concept of "looking glass self"</div> </li> <li> <div>Verbal and non-verbal self-concept, and how we develop our identity based on both</div> </li> <li> <div>The empowerment process, and how encouragement plays a part</div> </li> </ul> <div> </div> <div>Follow me on Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/thekidcounselor" rev= "en_rl_none">@thekidcounselor</a></div> <div>Podcast HQ: <a href="https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/" rev="en_rl_none">https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/</a></div> <div>My Newsletter Signup: <a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/newsletter/" rev= "en_rl_none">https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/newsletter/</a></div> <div>My Podcast Partner, Gabb Wireless: <a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/gabb/" rev= "en_rl_none">https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/gabb/</a></div>
