That Little voice

Each of us has a Little Voice that runs pretty much non-stop in our head--until we take control and stop it. What Little Voice? The one talking to you right now saying '"I don't have a little voice."
Well, that voice runs in your head to the tune of 15,000 words per minute and most of what it tells you is negative messages about you. It tells you what you cannot do, how bad you are at what you do, how you are too thin or too tall, etc. That Little Voice is nagging at you constantly beating you down and keeping you in a hole. And there you were wondering why you feel bad about yourself.
Even extremely talented people have a LIttle Voice. Those who know how to quiet it are happpy and successful in all they do. Those who let it rant on wonder why they are not successful in anything they do.
Which are you? You can read more about that Little Voice in Parents, You Gotta Ask Questions: How To Build Adolescnet Self Esteem. Either you help your teen take control of that Little Voice or your child may be doomed to live in mediocrity along with all the average Joes out there--or worse.
