Summer should be that time of year when everyone in the family can enjoy the “Three R’s.” (No, not those.) The other three: Rest, relaxation and recreation.

First, I want to correct a misconception that many parents have about self-esteem. There’s a widespread worry that if you foster healthy self-esteem in your kids, you could inadvertently turn them into self-loving narcissists. I have good news on this front: Narcissism is a very different beast from healthy self-esteem, and it develops differently, too. You can’t just fill a child’s self-esteem bucket “too high” and turn him into a narcissist.

A study has shown that there is a link between cyberbullying and self-harm in adolescence, and it is worth paying attention to. It is no secret that young people are spending a lot of time online. They are playing games, learning more about different topics, and they are interacting with their friends and peers. However, while there are advantages to technology and the internet, there are also negatives, and cyberbullying is one of them.
