Every individual has a different level of self-confidence. As a result, the way they view self-worth is also different. According to Positive Psychology, a self-worth is a form of appreciation that respects yourself by knowing that you are worthy. This self-respect arises from feeling and believing that you have good qualities and have achieved many positive things in life. Self-worth is different from self-esteem. According to Dr. Christina Hibbert quoted from Positive Psychology, self-esteem is what we think, feel, and believe about and by ourselves. Meanwhile, self-worth is realizing that I am valuable, have value, and am important in this life. Self-worth is related to self-acceptance. That is, you realize that all the advantages and disadvantages you have are things that complement yourself as a human being.
The message contained in this book is one of self-respect and embracing diversity. Byers emphasizes that regardless of one's appearance, abilities, or beliefs, every child is unique, capable, and worthy of respect. His message encourages children to recognize diversity and show respect and kindness to others.
