A friend recently wrote:
"Simply put, confidence is a belief in ourselves and our abilities. When we are sure of ourselves, we are able to be a better parent, employee, and leader as well as a more faithful Christian. Confidence-building starts as soon as we are born. Parents are instrumental in forming our self-worth when they create a safe, supportive environment, provide the necessities of life, and encourage their children to become all that God created them to be. 
 
...nothing destroys confidence as self-worth more than poverty or instability in the home. Children who do not have good role models, steady support systems, or the opportunity for an excellent education often spend years learning how to believe in themselves." ~Rev. Laurie Haller, Leading from the Heart
 
HAPI Peace Pals...safe, supportive, stable...it takes many hands & hearts.
