[quote=Anonymous]I noticed that several of the posts on the "worst things in life" thread reference low self-esteem.  If you have self-esteem issues, can you pin-point where they come from?  Is this something you've dealt with most of your life or have certain circumstances or childhood traumas caused low self-esteem?

I've never had self-esteem issues but my daughter does and it's very painful for me to see her feel so badly about herself.  She's in elementary school and has some specialeducational needs, which may contribute to the issue, but otherwise I can't figure out what would cause her to think so poorly about herself.  She's a very cute little girl, smart and articulate, kind, creative, funny, etc.  Obviously, I'm her parent so I think the world of her!

I worry on a pretty regular basis about what this low self-esteem will lead to as she grows older...how can I build her up and make her feel good about herself.  She does several after school activities but has never found an activity or sport where she excels...not that we think she needs to, but maybe that would make her feel better?  Our family is very happy on the whole, fortunate in so many ways but the fact that she feels badly about herself weighs on me...

Thanks for any insights you may have
