STRAWBERRY-KIWI JUNIOR LIFESAVIOURS SELF-ESTEEM: I LIKE MYSELF

Self-esteem is merely loving and placing value on oneself. When a child accepts self, a good self-esteem is present. When a child does not accept self and tries to be like someone else, a poor self-esteem exists. In choosing these expressions, we have tried to bring about a variety of feelings and emotions that are common to all children and from a child's perception. Changing a poor self-esteem is hard work; however, once the transition begins, confidence will surface and the child will feel happier. It becomes worth the discomfort and effort it took in building a strong self-esteem.
