Children are likely to develop high self-esteem when they can see themselves regarded in a positive light by those around them. Positive feedback, encouragement, and recognition from parents, teachers, and peers can all contribute to the development of high self-esteem. Discovering they are powerless, having someone else do everything for them, or facing critical attitudes are more likely to have negative impacts on a child's self-esteem.
