All about Me: Are We Developing Our Children's Self-Esteem or Their Narcissism?
Katz, Lilian G.
American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, v17 n2 p18-23 Sum 1993
Commendable as it is for children to have high self-esteem, many practices advocated in pursuit of this goal may inadvertently develop narcissism through excessive preoccupation with oneself. Self-esteem is more likely to be fostered when children have opportunities to build self-confidence through effort, persistence, and accrual of skills. (SLD)
