Very good article. I really enjoyed your article. There is one point I wish to bring up: You say that self-esteem is inbuilt from birth and later factors cause the child to lose it. That is a chiddush! We know that some babies are naturally happier than others. Is it not possible that some babies are also naturally more endowed with self-esteem than others? Obviously parental attitudes shape the child's self perception and self-confidence. But inbuilt traits may also play a part in levels of self-esteem. R.d.d.
