Dr. Tori Cordiano Featured in Parenting Playbook Podcast
Dr. Tori Cordiano, Co-Director of Laurel’s Center for Research on Girls (LCRG), recently appeared on the Parenting Playbook with Maureen Kyle on Fox 8 to discuss boosting self-esteem in kids.
Dr. Cordiano highlights several aspects of how self-esteem changes over time in children, including some of the unique challenges girls face, and potential solutions. Self-esteem is grounded from birth in those relationships with parents and caregivers, and then with teachers, coaches and other important people in their lives. All of this can help to strengthen their sense of self and their connectedness to the world around them.
