Self-Esteem Enhancement: The Hard Work of Helping Children Feel Better

The article examines the difficulties of forming ethnic identity among Belarusians through their historical past. Identification features characteristic of Belarusians are highlighted: hard work, thrift, scrupulousness, perseverance, high morality, self-esteem, peacefulness, etc. The author considers such a feature as religious tolerance, or religious tolerance, which was formed over a long historical period, as ethnospecific. In conclusion, it is stablished that the process of formation of the ethnic identity of Belarusians was influenced by natural-historical conditions and inclusion in foreign ethnic state formations. It is noted that the process of formation of the Belarusian ethnic identity did not have the character of a deliberate construction of any predetermined properties and qualities. It crystallized from the values formed in the process of the historical development of the Belarusian nation.

And Migration

IIn our study, which is based on qualitative interviews and conversations, we examined, how Hungarians who emigrated to the West, live and interpret their lives along with those who returned home to Hungary or are considering returning. Happiness and contentment in their lives are determined by countless, complex interactive attitudes, and a whole range of motivations that determine both emigration and the possibility of returning home. Our interviewees were mostly around 40 years old and presented their life experiences in different narratives. We found satisfaction among those who live abroad. When it comes to those who returned home, the key reasons are the lack of integration abroad, feeling of alienation, hard work, as is it to the detriment of free time, social and marital relations, which is not necessarily compensated by the material well-being. In the age of transnationalism, new patterns of mobility and migration are emerging, and the question of “where is better” has become an important element of human self-interpretation and self-esteem.

Reading Book

Karel Wiesner was born on 25 November 1919 in Prague at the home of his maternal grandparents, the only child of Karel František Wiesner (1892-1980) and his wife Evzenie Ruzena née Stérová (b. 1898). The home of his Prague grandparents stood on the quay of the Vltava (Moldau) River, its windows facing the historic panorama of the Hradcany Castle and St Vitus Cathedral, a location Wiesner probably would have chosen himself, since his love of his country of birth and pride in its history stayed with him all through his life. On his father’s side, he came from a widely respected family of eastern Bohemia, engaged for three generations in mechanical engineering. Wiesner’s great-grandfather, František Wiesner (1832-1880), son of a poor farm labourer, rose to become builder and operator of the largest machine manufacturing plant and steel mill in Chrudim, eastern Bohemia. To generations of school children, he came to represent what is meant by a passion for excellence and hard work. Leading Czech writer and poet, Jan Neruda, wrote a story of František’s life and accomplishments which was featured in the primary reading book throughout the country. It related the life of a self-taught man who almost single-handedly modernized the economy of eastern Bohemia and brought unprecedented prosperity to the country, along with a high reputation for Czech workmanship - an important factor in the self-esteem of a reawakening nation.

Purpose Nationwide, upward trends exist in student issues with anxiety, stress, depression, and lowered classroom performance. As emotional awareness and emotional regulation skills are typically not addressed in professional discipline-specific courses, students experience challenges in their academic performance. This pilot research explored the effect of brief targeted classroom practices within an empowerment-based framework on domains of emotional intelligence. Method Twenty-two students in an undergraduate speech-language pathology class received a 13-week, biweekly, 15-min session of empowerment-based worksheet exercises to develop increased self-esteem, emotional awareness and regulation, and communication. Assessments of self-esteem, emotional intelligence, communication competence, and communication apprehension were conducted using validated scales, namely, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale ( Rosenberg, 1965 ), the Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment ( Mohapel, 2015 ), the Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale ( McCroskey & McCroskey, 2013 ), and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension ( McCroskey, 1982 ), respectively. Midsemester and semester-end student reflections were collected. Results Paired t tests were significant in self-esteem and emotional quotient, including subdomains of emotional awareness, emotional management, social emotional awareness, and relational management. Significance was noted in communication competence in the subdomains of dyad interaction, stranger interaction, and acquaintance. Students' reflection showed significant improvement in empowerment and self-rated improvements in confidence, communication, connections with peers, and trust with instructor. Conclusion Preliminary evidence demonstrates positive outcomes with integration of intentional classroom exercises to build emotional intelligence (including emotional awareness and regulation), self-esteem, and communication. This empowerment model may assist faculty in developing effective pedagogical strategies to build students' self-resiliency.

Counseling Adolescents

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.
