How Do You Define Yourself?

One of our important responsibilities as parents is to help our children learn how to define themselves, who they are, and what they can become.

Lizzy Velasquez was born with a rare syndrome and was once called "The World's Ugliest Woman."  In this TEDx video, Lizzy shares powerful insights into how she decided to turn things around and create her own definitions of who she was and what she could accomplish and become.

Lizzy also tells how her parents helped her overcome the bullying she faced as she grew up.  Her message is valuable for all parents, especially when our children are confronted by bullies or by other difficult challenges in their lives. 

If you know anyone who might benefit from this message, please share.  So many people are carrying heavy burdens.  Who knows who you might be able to help?
