From Our President. Are We Confusing Self-Esteem and Narcissism?
Katz, Lilian G.
Young Children, v49 n1 p2-3 Nov 1993
Recent classroom emphasis on boosting self-esteem by encouraging self-congratulation and appealing to children's consumer instincts is misguided. Many of the self-oriented activities prompt responses of the form "what I like" rather than "what I want to know." Children's self-esteem is fostered not by empty compliments but by respectful treatment from adults. (ME)
