CBC says Build Your Child's Self-Esteem

CBC.ca's Health Tip last week was the various ways in which you can build your child's self-esteem. Of particular interest is this one:

Encourage her to participate in activities that encourage cooperation, rather than competition

(It intrigues me that they used 'her')

One of the things I am bent on exploring here at Philip and Henry is how Magic or training to be a Magician can improve the self-esteem and confidence of a child, in both the short and long term. Magic stands out as being very non-competitive, and a way for a child to gain positive attention.
