The sun filtered through the pines casting lacy shadows across the meadow and a gentle breeze whispered through the trees, rippling the grass in the meadow below. In the distance, we could hear the gentle babbling of the mountain brook. In the dark pines against the far hill, a squirrel chattered. The afternoon sky was a deep blue without even the wisp of a cloud. It was the perfect place and time for a picnic. My wife and I had hiked deep...more

For some children and teens it is difficult to feel confident when they are bombarded daily with pictures of professionally styled celebrities who have perfectly shaped bodies. They feel inadequate and unattractive compared to the people in magazines and movies. Parents also are becoming increasing concerned as the childhood obesity rate increases. Because of this an growing amount of minors are seeking cosmetic surgery, such as liposuction, to lose weight.Like adults, children and adolescents also look to liposuction to contour and perfect their bodies when they feel they have unsightly fat. Childhood obesity is a growing problem, and so is child liposuction. Most surgeons do not believe it is a good idea and are hesitant or will refuse to perform the surgery on patients under the age of 18.

How many people pause to think that their children need help in building self esteem as they grow up? It would not be surprising to find many parents overlooking this vital aspect of child growth.Experiences that children go through make them to be what they are when they grow up. In structuring self esteem, self confidence and good image, children become competitive later on in life thus speaking their minds, challenge decisions and influencing the world positively.I did take time to monitor a seven year old boy who was seated near me at a restaurant. He sat up in his chair and had an almost adult like conversation with his father. Though I could not hear the conversation well, it got me thinking of what could have made the boy portray such confident.With further findings, I realized that it is not by chance that the boy was very confident of himself. Children, like adults have to be commended when they do something good. And when they make a mistake, avoid shouting at them. Instead, explain what would have been acceptable and this will help in building self esteem.Children who take part in debate and other activities such as games that they like also build self esteem as they...more
