How do we help them? How do we build self-esteem in them? Especially, in young men who are already more likely to end up in jail?

I had the misfortune of not seeing it. I was at work. If you have time, e-mail me a little bit 'bout it Bruh.
Like a close friend of mine told me once: self esteem is born at home; incubated in the relationships between the father and the child, and the mother and the child. It is reinforced first by the child's siblings, then by the child's peers.
All of us aren't fortunate enough to have the combined efforts of both parents; therefore we may initially receive self esteem-but it is not reinforced. Its roots dont take hold.
I think one way to build self esteem in young men-children is through accomplishment and positive reinforcement by the RIGHT PEOPLE. Only the child in question knows who they are.
