Can someone please tell me the difference between autonomy, independence, self esteem and self concept?

Question

They are all part of an assignment I am doing relating to child care.

Answer 1

Autonomy-     * noun:   immunity from arbitrary exercise of authority: political independence

    * noun:   personal independence

Independence- noun:   freedom from control or influence of another or others

Self-esteem- how one feels about themselves:     * noun:   the condition of being honored

    * noun:   an attitude of admiration or esteem

    * noun:   a feeling of delighted approval and liking

    * verb:   regard highly; think much of

    * verb:   look on as or consider

self-concept- the mental image one has of oneself

Children all begin learning factors of self esteem, concept, independence, and autonomy from a very young age. I believe adults and other children can have an affect whether it be positive or negative on a child's life. When discussing child care- is the provider promoting positive characteristics/environment in healthy ways?

Hope this helps!
