Does having higher self esteem encourage learners to take better care of themselves? It absolutely does! Does having high self esteem mean that one likes everything about themselves? No, but that they like most things and can work to improve parts they are not quite so happy with. An individual's level of self esteem changes over time, but it is important to help young learners understand the ebb and flow and having good self esteem overall. There is a good amount of information, a self inventory worksheet, and a couple of activities in this lesson.
