family, teachers, and others. Social acceptance and a sense
of belonging help provide security, comfort, and confidence
in one's surroundings; and help foster the development of a
positive self-concept. Joseph (1979) believed a child's
self-concept may be the best predictor of a child's ability
to succeed in life due to its instrumental role in
influencing "emotional growth, academic achievement,
interpersonal relationships, and the outcome of major life
experiences" (p. 1). Social acceptability, a sense of
belonging, and a healthy self-concept will benefit all
children throughout the duration of their development and
will help to ensure their becoming fully-functioning,
socially-minded, well-adjusted adults.81
