Hello, I am a graduate student in the field of communication disorders, soon to become a clinician in the field. I found your paper on enhancing self-esteem to be very insightful. As I read the part of your paper related to seeking challenges, I found myself asking what I might do to challenge PWS with whom I am working. However, I find myself pondering whether the challenges I present may also have the opposite reaction of decreasing self-esteem. I was wondering if in your experience you have known or worked with an individual who has sought out a challenge and failed? Did the experience undermine the courage that it took to seek out and attempt the challenge? Did it negatively impact their newly found self-esteem? Thanks for any help in this area.
