[INTRO MUSIC]

>> FARA: Hi, Daniel.

>> DANIEL + FARA:- Hi. - What's up?

>> DANIEL: Well, I made these flapjacks to take to football training from my team-mates, but they are bit of a mess. I'm just not good at baking.

>> FARA: That's not true, Daniel. I'm sure they're better than you think. I've tasted your flapjacks before and they were delicious. Self-esteem, Daniel.

>> DANIEL: Self-esteem?

>> FARA: Yes, it's all about being positive about yourself and believing in your abilities.

>> SIAN: Self-esteem for me is about being confident and confident in your own ability to have a go at something.

>> CLAIRE: From my point of view, I think self-esteem is kind of similar to confidence and self-confidence, you know, how you hold yourself, how you think about day-to-day things, you know, do you look at things negatively or positively and just kind of your aspect on life.

>> ANTHONY: Self-esteem is important so you can go and do things to the best of your ability and make a success of yourself.

>> TIM: Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself, so whether you're confident in yourself, confident in your abilities.

>> FARA: So, even top sports people need to think about their emotional wellbeing.

>> ANTHONY: So, being good at things make you feel really good, makes you happy, makes you enjoy things, and makes people really proud of what you do.

>> MICHAEL: It's a great feeling to know that you try to do something to the best you can and that might not be the best in the playground or the best in the classroom. If that's the best that you can do, it's such a fantastic feeling.

>> SIAN: Happy within myself. I'm proud of myself that I've achieved it. I've worked hard towards a goal and then I've achieved that goal, it makes me happy and know the people around me, my family feel proud of me, so it's about being happy, really.

>> FARA: Self-esteem makes us feel good. Look at how these people support each other when things go right or wrong.

>> DANIEL: So I suppose it's the same anywhere, whether you're at the playground at school or doing a job.

>> MICHAEL: I like challenging myself, looking at my things I do well and the things I don't do quite so well. I like to look at my mistakes and think, you know, next time I wouldn't do that but more importantly what did I learn in that situation and try to move on and next time to make the right choice.

>> SIAN: I think it's just looking over things when I've done them and seeing if there's things that could be improved and having the ability to say I didn't do very well on that but I'm gonna improve.

>> ANTHONY: You've got to be honest. So when you make a mistake, admit to making a mistake. We'll then learn from the next time but also listen to advice from more experienced people.

>> TIM: If you don't first succeed, keep going, keep trying 'cause by trying, you get better at something, then you get more confidence from there.

>> FARA: And another important building block of self-esteem is understanding the differences between yourself and others and also recognising similarities.

>> GIRL 2: I want to be a zoologist.

>> BOY 1: I want to be a sports journalist.

>> GIRL 3: I want to be an author.

>> BOY 2: I want to be an actor.

>> GIRL 4: I want to be a footballer.

>> BOY 3: I want to be a basketball player.

>> DANIEL: A really good tip for self-esteem is to think about something we're good at, something that makes us feel proud.

>> GIRL 5: When I do well at sports, for example, score a goal in part of football... I feel top of the world 'cause I know my hard work has paid off.

>> DANIEL: I'm really good at baking and I'm going to keep on trying to get better because I enjoy it.

>> FARA: And I'm really proud that I did well in my maths test last week.

>> DANIEL: Most importantly, self-esteem is about being positive about yourself.

>> FARA: And others.
