Our
self-esteem develops and evolves throughout our lives as we build
an image of ourselves through our experiences with different people
and activities. Experiences during our childhood play a particularly
large role in the shaping of our basic self-esteem. When we were
growing up, our successes (and failures) and how we were treated
by the members of our immediate family, by our teachers, coaches,
religious authorities, and by our peers, all contributed to the
creation of our basic self-esteem.
