My son had serious self esteem issues and I was also at a loss. We found a child psychologist who helped him in only 2 sessions. (I actually saw improvement immediately following the first session.) "All" she did was talk, but for my son it was incredible. We still see the psychologist very occasionally for other issues relating more to social skills problems, but the self esteem issues have never re-surfaced. I sit in on the sessions, and try my hand at what she does at home, but I don't come close to the positive effect the psychologist has!!
Maybe seeing a psychologist sounds extreme, but I am so glad we did it for our son. Nan
