C Correct: The closer the perceived self is to the ideal self (how the child would like to be) the higher the child's self-esteem.
D Incorrect: Although a child who answers "yes" if asked if he or she has high self-esteem may have a positive self-concept, this is not the best indicator of high self-esteem.
