Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Self-esteem shows a strong relationship with our everyday behaviour. For example,children with high academic self-esteem perform better in schools than those with low academic self-esteem, and children with high social self-esteem are more liked by their peers than those with low social self-esteem. On the other hand, children with low self-esteem in all areas are often found to display anxiety, depression, and increasing antisocial behaviour.
