S ummary . The questionnaire (LAWSEQ) was constructed to measure self‐esteem in primary school children. The questions were selected to cover the main areas of concern shown by children in an earlier counselling study. There were 20 questions in the original version, including four innocuous ones, and with a parallel form (Form B). In the final version the questionnaire comprises 16 items, chosen as a result of an item analysis carried out by the University of Bristol Department of Child Health.
