Abstract

The aim of this essay is to create a body of knowledge for a follow-on research on the subject of the impact of self-esteem on the behaviour of primary school pupils. For this purpose, information was gathered through observations as well as through study and analysis of materials presented in books, research journals, and professional publications so as to identify characteristic features of low/high self-esteem and to determine the appropriate strategies for developing children's healthy self-esteem within primary school context.
