A Welcome Message from Fran Hendrick
I’m very excited to tell you that The Self Development Place is now active on Facebook!
I’ll be sharing daily tips to inspire you to pursue your dreams, have great relationships, avoid depression, bounce back from frustration, — and hang in there until you succeed!
You’ll also find strategies for working with gifted children and for supporting girls in creating dynamic lives for themselves!
Now – a little about Getting Off the Self-Esteem Roller Coaster!
Do you ever feel like your mood is going up and down like the steep rise and precipitous plunge of a roller coaster? Lots of people experience this — a lot more than actually talk about it. Outwardly, you may manage to maintain an even façade even when your sense of self-worth is fluctuating wildly. What’s surprising is that accomplished adults and gifted children are among the greatest sufferers!
There are very some clear reasons that this happens, and I’ve put them together, along with strategies to help you gain control over your mood, in a brand new ebook called Getting Off the Self-Esteem Roller Coaster. This little book is written to help you both as an individual and as a parent of children who may experience self-doubt that sometimes causes them to give up.
And — to entice you over to Facebook, you’ll find a link there to get a copy. Just click below!
I hope to connect with you soon on Facebook!

Growing the Whole Person Within Your Daughter
The great pleasure of brilliance often comes
with a set of unique challenges. The awesome focus that gifted kids bring to the subjects they love makes it tempting to dismiss the things that can get in their way -- like learning the skills they need to have satisfying relationships; staying organized; managing their feelings when they can't do something "perfectly" the first time; and growing their creative genius within the structures that they'll encounter throughout their lives.
Coaching for gifted students is a special kind of mentoring that empowers your child -- and takes you out of the middle. Learn more...
