Individuals’ self-esteem and identity serve as a foundation for how they see themselves, how others see them, and even how they define how they will approach the world. Parenting, social interactions, educational and athletic achievement, artistic expressions, and innate ability all play a role in the formation of these concepts, according to modern, holistic understandings of developmental psychology. The ability to intervene to improve self-esteem and identity formation can be beneficial in establishing a healthy life path. You are tasked with researching programs and activities aimed at increasing self-esteem:

From the course materials, which theory or research does the program/activity align with?
Determine the age group of the child or adolescent that the program/activity is aimed at. What is the program’s definition and assessment of self-esteem?
Examine the cultural sensitivity and effectiveness of the activities.
