Millie, I agree with quite a few points in your comments.
I would like to take you up on the point of self-esteem.
Many people do equate self-esteem with ego/confidence.
My understanding is:
If a child is raised/taught by adults who helped him/her to build a high self-esteem that, that child would automatically do the same for others as they grow up. Hence, we would have a better world in every new generation.
Quote: "Children live what they learn." Anonymous.
May I add: ... and they learn to respond to what they are taught; especially by example, both negative and positives.
I think that if a child is forced into developing high self-esteem, she/he evtntually develops false confidence and is likely to become a bully because of a misunderstanding in selv-value.
