“Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people. Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life. Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up. The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsBelieveWellsImportantSelfFeelingsParentUnderstandingLevelsAttitudeInfluenceSelf EsteemAcceptancePersonalityHealthyDeterminedAcceptedBest WayEsteemSelf AcceptanceSiblingInfancyPeople In Your LifeStraight UpUnderstanding Yourself Author:Brian Tracy

“All in all, the communally reared children of Israel are far from the emotional disasters that psychoanalytic theory predicted. Neither have they been saved from all personality problems, as the founders of the kibbutz movement had hoped when they freed children from their parents. In any reasonable environment, children seem to grow up to be themselves. There is no evidence that communal rearing with stimulating, caring adults is either the ruination or the salvation of children.” ChildrenProblemSeemsGrowsParentCommunityGrowing UpEnvironmentMovementEmotionalTheoryPersonalityEvidenceAdultsSalvationIsraelCaringSavedDisasterReasonableFoundersPsychoanalytic Author:Sandra Scarr
“As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.” NeedsFeelsFirstsLooksChildrenSelfActionSocialCausesParentBlackCommunityAbilityWhiteMoralIdentityPersonalityDevelopmentAmountInvolvedNormalConscienceConcernGuiltUnlikelySelf CenteredBlack Or WhiteBlack CommunityConcern For OthersCultural IdentitySocial ActionMoral Development Author:James P.
