Self-Esteem

"A child's self esteem begins to be formed very early, and continues being created day by day. Self-esteem comes from learning to accept who we are by seeing the insufficiencies and still choosing to like ourselves. Every child's self-esteem grows with each experience of successful interaction, a job well done, a goal met, as well as through the positive words of the ones we love. Self-esteem doesn't depend on huge accomplishments. It depends on the small daily tasks that build a child's belief that they can handle it well."
"We are the hero of our own story" - Mary McCarthy
