Guiding children as they navigate tough times and disappointments in life is a big job for many parents, especially if their children struggle with self-esteem.

Education consultant and parenting commentator Joseph Dreissen says there are four things a child needs to learn to deal with the realities of life.

He discussed these strategies with Kathryn Ryan on Nine to Noon.
