If your son doesn't see in himself what you see in him, give him this.

You see a lot in him. More than he gives himself credit for.

You tell him now and then. He shrugs it off, the way sons do.

This is a simpler way to say it. It's the kind of bracelet he'd pick out himself, so he'll wear it without thinking about it. And on the odd day he's second-guessing himself, it's there. A small reminder that his mom believes in him, and always has.
