Self-Esteem in Early Childhood
Captions available
The idea
Self-esteem is one's evaluation of oneself; at three and four it rests mainly on caregivers' feedback, and most four-year-olds rate themselves better than others.
In practice
A kindergartner's self-rating dropping a little as she compares herself with classmates.
Where people slip
The misconception is that a dip at school entry signals a problem. It is typical, as self-views become realistic.
