The child, often showing low self-esteem, focuses on what their friend, neighbor, or classmate can do rather than what they themselves can achieve. Pipi, the mouse in our story, wanted to become a bat so he could fly. However, when he discovered the new lifestyle he would have to adopt to gain this ability, he was either unwilling or unable by nature to "pay" the heavy price. To boost the child's self-esteem, we must encourage them to recognize their uniqueness. They should think about their special characteristics and abilities, realizing that none of us is better or worse than another, just different.
