The Child in Your Care
A series of ten programmes on child development, linked with the new in-service study course prepared for residential staff by the Central Training Council for Child Care.
8: Individual Abilities and Self-Esteem
A vital role in the development of a healthy personality is played by sell-esteem. If a child feels that he can do something well, and that this ability is recognised by other people, he will gain confidence and a greater capacity for further learning.
TERENCE MOORE , educational psychologist, discusses some of the difficulties of meeting this need of the child in the residential setting.
