With my daughter aka Goose, I have tried to instil that actions have consequences. To always try your best but it is ok to fail or not be good at everything. I am very lucky she is a smart sweet kind child, very considerate of others feelings and not afraid to stand up for what she believes. Both her other mother and I had self-esteem issues and I am so glad that Goose has the self confidence that she does. I always remind her that she has a lot of people that love her very much and will no matter what. Just as we did when she was very small we sometimes go thorough the list... She always knows that even though she is not with me all the time I am only a call or text away..
