Which is the typical developmental path for self-esteem? a. a steady increase in self-esteem from early childhood through adulthood b. a decline in middle childhood until age 12 or 13 followed by an increase in adolescence c. low in early childhood, high in middle childhood, low in adolescence d. a decline in early childhood followed by an increase through adulthood?

The right answer is B. A decline in middle childhood until age 12 or 13 followed by an increase in adolescence. The self-concept is formed during the first years of life, due to the encouragement they receive to reach various developmental milestones tend to have a very high self-esteem. If the child maintains this feeling of achievement throughout childhood during adolescence his self-esteem will increase when he notices that he is developing new cognitive abilities.

I hope my answer can help you.
