Description of the book

This book which focuses on the child's self-concept (also called self-perspective or self-identity) is a collection of beliefs about oneself that includes elements such as academic performance, gender roles, and racial identity. Generally, self-concept embodies the answer to Who I Be?

Humanist psychologist Carl Rogers believed that there were three different parts of the self-concept:

• Self-Image or how you see yourself.
• Self-Worth or how much you value yourself.
• Ideal-Self or how you wish you could be.

Congruence or Incongruence of a positive self-concept has its earliest roots in childhood. Why is the self-concept so important? Because it literally regulates how well we put to use whatever knowledge that we already have. We perform as much to our self-concept as we do to our knowledge.

This book is a tool to use for the child to increase a positive self-image, to bolster the child's self-worth, plus strongly place a high value on themselves and constantly strive to be their true ideal-self. Continual reading of this book will inculcate in the child to always be their better self!
