  b. having a label of any kindeven the label giftedtends to lower self-esteem.
  c. identifying a child as gifted requires an intensive evaluation, and evaluations inevitably lower self-esteem.
  d. children form their self-concepts in part by comparing their own performance to the performance of those around them.
