Porcelaingirl The experience that creates self-esteem more than anything else is unconditional acceptance. Most children in healthy homes receive more than a fair share of that for the first year or so. But at a later age, earning this unconditional regard may be more difficult, especially for the impulsive or inattentive child, whose ability to please parents or teachers is often inhibited by disorganized or scattered efforts and accomplishments. When a child does not meet performance expectations, there is less unconditional acceptance by parents and teachers.
