Self-Esteem a key to holistic development to a girl child.

Self-esteem refers to a person’s overall sense of his or her value or worth. It can be considered a sort of measure of how much a person “values, approves of, appreciates, prizes, or likes him or herself” (Adler & Stewart, 2004).

75% of girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative activities like cutting, bullying, smoking, drinking, or disordered eating. This compares to 25% of girls with high self-esteem. About 20% ofteens will experience depression before they reach adulthood.

According to the National Association for Self Esteem, people who have high self esteem typically possess 7 desirable traits.

Are friendly.
Have lots of energy.
Smile lots and lots and lots.
Feel good most of the time.
Talk positively to themselves.
