Parental influence - Negative feedback or lack of support from parents can critically impact a child's self-esteem. Peer relationships - Bullying or exclusion by peers can lead to feelings of inadequacy. Academic challenges - Struggling in school can make children feel less capable than their peers. Media influence - Exposure to unrealistic standards in media can affect children’s self-image. Traumatic experiences - Events such as family separation, loss, or abuse can severely damage a child's self-worth.
