To those with kind or loving parents

Were they mostly focused on encouraging you, and focusing on the good traits you had, over flaws?

If so did it help you gain esteem as an adult and view yourself positively?

Lots of encouragement in everything we did or wanted to do. Focused on our good traits and with our flaws we were accepted the way we were/are. I know it helped with my self esteem and self positivity. When I said negative things about myself growing up my mom was always turning it into a positive way to look at it.

@Jenny1234 That's a great template to model for children..ty for sharing🌺. I'm trying to do what they call Reparent yourself but Bec I think so low of myself it's hard to know what to do. So you also would say there wasn't a lot of ridicule, monitoring, or degrading? I appreciate your feedback 🌸🦋
