A positive self-concept represents strong self-confidence. Those people like themselves are
self-confident and self-assured. People with positive self-concepts do not necessarily think of themselves as perfect or as better than others, but they are satisfied with themselves and they have the potential to change the world in a good way.

What is self-concept?

All of us have a mental picture of ourselves. The picture we have of ourselves is called our self-concept. We compare ourselves at multiple parameters. We think about ourselves as a leader or a follower, fat or thin, good or bad, etc. These all assumptions are our self-concept.

Children with low self-concepts feel less confident about their abilities and may doubt their decision-making process. They may not be motivated to try new things because they don’t believe they can reach their goals.
