Reviewed by Laurn Wilhelm, University of WyomingIt’s a well known fact that children in our society struggle with positive self-esteem. This fast paced video presents nothing particularly new in how children can obtain good self-esteem. Adults and others point out to children that though they may not be as good as someone else with a particular activity, they none-the-less have talents and can find enjoyment doing their own thing. The presentation ends with encouragement to assess one’s own strengths and weaknesses and to be satisfied with trying your best. One should avoid letting negative comments and actions of others determine how one reacts and feels. Technically a well produced program.
