Self esteem matters at all ages.

Self-esteem starts in childhood with esteem from parents. Usually, it's parents' attitudes to simple everyday things that matter. For example, do parents assume as a matter of course that their children will be competent or incompetent? Does a parent assume that if an 8 year old is asked to carry a tray with glasses of cola that he/she will spill the drinks? Does a parent assume that a child will be punctual or late, and so on. It is important that parents instill a feeling of worth and capability in children from the time they are able to do things. This will go with them their entire lives.
