Millions of children and adults around the world have asked themselves this terrifying question at some point in their life, When will I be good enough? To some the answer is simple, quick, and empowering, I am! However, others struggled with the answer because it is a little bit more complex and complicated. Especially if you are a Replacement Child. Your existence came about to fill the vacancy of a lost sibling.  Dr. Barbara Jaffe’s memoir, When will I be good enough? A Replacement Child’s Journey to Healing, chronicles her personal experience; born to fill the vacancy left by her little brother, who died at the age of two.  Join Dr. Barbara Jaffe and me on Tuesday, October 31, 10-11 A.M. CT US. We will be having a conversation about the Replacement Child Syndrome, and her life’s journey  that addresses self-esteem, self-confidence, self worth, and identity issues.

Ninety percent of our self-talk is negative. Whether or not you think you have problems with not feeling good enough, this statistic tells us that all of us are constantly judging ourselves and rarely do we meet the impossibly high standards that we set for ourselves. Many of us learn to survive by being people pleasers or masking our low self-esteem or self-confidence with workaholism or a long list of accomplishments. The problem is that our public image doesn't match our self-image. Whether our difficulties stem from an alcoholic or abusive parent, our gender or birth order or body size, a school bully, being a replacement child or not measuring up to some parental ideal, in the end, we must take responsibility for our own mental and emotional health. We all have the capability of learning to love, respect and nurture ourselves. When we do this, everything changes and the doors to an amazing life open wide. Please join us Thursday to learn how you can choose to be good enough.

Barbara Jaffe Were you born to “replace” a child who died? No matter how many times replacement children are told that they are special, on some level they can feel they never seemed to live up to the model their parents wanted. They always fall short—never being “enough.”Replacement child Barbara Jaffe shares her hard-won knowledge to help us identify our lost self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth, and fix the broken pieces within ourselves. We had been stunted; now, we need to be nurtured, not by others, but by ourselves. We can pursue a full and honorable life, one we can pass on to our children and then, to future generations.

When Will I Be Good Enough? ~ (Replacement Child Syndrome) with Barbara Jaffe, Ed.D. When Will I Be Good Enough? is the first memoir focused on the emotional issues of the Replacement Child Syndrome by a replacement child. Having written this book, Barbara looks forward to helping others pursue a full and honorable life, one they can pass on to their children and then, to future generations. While the circumstances of her birth reflect her position as the replacement child, today she chooses to view herself as the unique individual she is –a replacement child no more! Barbara Jaffe, Ed.D. is an award-winning English professor at El Camino College, California and is a Fellow in UCLA's Department of Education. She has offered countless workshops to students to help them find their writers' voices through writing non-fiction. Her college has honored her by naming her Outstanding Woman of the Year and Distinguished Teacher of the Year. Her wish for this book is twofold: first, to help other “replacement children” understand and accept their often challenging journeys as she reveals her own. Second, to offer a cautionary tale to parents who have, perhaps unwittingly, set the stage in their own families for a child who serves as a replacement for another or is viewed as ‘less than' by comparison. Barbara also shares her inner journey to wholeness so that readers might be able to relate to their own challenges and growth whether they are replacement children or just feel 'less than' at times.
