Doug is joined by Monica Hinderer to talk about the damage criticism does to children: They discuss the many factors that can lead to criticism and share how parents can help children develop positive self-esteem. Doug and Monica tackle listener questions and comments on the following:

·         My adult daughter says we nitpick too much. I am just trying to correct or help her but she won't listen.

·         My mom was super critical and both my sister and I have made it a point to treat our daughters differently.

·         My son has really low self-esteem and I don't know how to help him.

·         My mother nags a lot but I don't see it as nagging and I love that she tells me these things. I think it's only through prayer that I am able to take it so well.

·         My son is an adult but I think I was critical his whole life and now everything seems like a criticism to him.
