What is good self-esteem? How do you get it? Using dramatic vignettes, viewers learn that self-esteem is determined by how much we value ourselves and our abilities. There's Mike, who concludes that although he lacks athletic prowess, he still has many other talents to be proud of. Lauren discovers that even if her science project didn't win first prize, she can still be satisfied that she tried her best. Eva's story points out the value of self-acceptance rather than trying to blend in with the crowd, Eva learns to take pride in her ethnic heritage and gains the approval of her peers in the process. Finally, Tim's tale illustrates why we need to rely upon the people who accept us, rather than listen to those who criticize or tease. Program wraps up with key reminders: assess your own strengths and weaknesses, be satisfied with trying your best, take pride in your personal identity, and don't let someone else's negativity keep you from your goals.
"It is a nice introduction that will lead to classroom discussions and extension activities." - School Library Journal
