    About this ebook

    Do you remember what it was like to see the world through a childs eyes? What it was like to take in the vibrancy of the colors, sounds, and smells with all the precious imagination, speculation, and childlike wonder of an impressionable young mind? Do you remember what it was like to be open and free to experience the happiness, innocence, and beauty of childhood?

    In I Am Someone; I Am Me, author Audrey C. Hayes shares her creative effort to help build positive self-esteem in children by painting lucid, imaginative pictures of the world as it is seen through the eyes of children. Combining touching, heartwarming poetry and engaging fairy tales with fun, and interactive activities young children should delight in being a part of, it promises to bring to light some of the thoughts, feelings, and impressions young children have about their self-worth and who they are.

    Creating in a child the sense that they are special, good, and beautiful is the most important thing parents and educators can do to instill positive self-worth. Remembering what it was like to be so impressionable and so vulnerable, the hope is to help build and reinforce our childrens inner sense of worth and goodness and to promote positive, constructive, and wholesome development.

      Author's Note

      To children everywhere, especially to the children of the House of Hayes, who are living proof that nurturing and building positive self-esteem in children increases and ensures their ability to succeed in life.

      Thank you, Sean/Khier, my teacher, my friend, and my mentor. Thank you for your help, motivation, and inspiration, all of which led to making my dream a reality.

      Foreword

      From my own childhood experiences and from my experiences with my own children and the children I have worked with throughout my adult life, I have learned that the most important key to a child's positive, constructive, and wholesome development is to make sure that the child has high self-esteem. Creating in a child that sense of I am special, I am good, I am me, and I am beautiful is most important in instilling positive self-worth.

      Children are so impressionable and vulnerable when very young; it is easy to influence them and convey a message that can have a long-term or lifelong effect on them. My objective is to do all I can in my work with children to help build or reinforce their inner sense of worth and good. This book, I Am Someone; I Am Me, is my creative effort to help foster that sense of self-love and worth in children, that sense of acceptance and respect for being who they truly are.
