Thanks for joining the Parenting Q's conversation. I'm pastor Ryan and today we are diving into the beginnings of a very important conversation on self-esteem. Like it or not, you as a parent, youth worker, pastor, mentor, teacher, etc. have major influence over how a Gen Zer sees and understands self-esteem. They may not admit it, but they are still human and still desire to be championed and celebrated (it just looks a bit different).
