Pretend that you have been asked to speak to a group of parents and teachers about promoting self-esteem in school-age children. What information would you include in your presentation? For example, how does the level of self-esteem change during middle childhood, and what factors contribute to this change? What are some influences on self-esteem? What are the consequences of low self-esteem? How about extremely high self-esteem? Make sure to include research on mastery-oriented attributions and learned helplessness.
