Self-esteem is how your daughter feels about how she sees herself. Positive self-esteem follows positive behavior choices. We believe human beings have an innate drive to make choices that promote self-esteem. To have high self-esteem, your daughter's image must be congruent with her internal drive to participate in self-respecting behavior. To increase self-esteem, she needs to feel like she is doing well in areas that are significant to her, be able to feel like she belongs, and find meaning in her existence.
