Grammatically, it's okay. I'd write five instead of 5 (because it's a number lower then ten) but that's just a style issue. Also, the way it's written, it suggests that there are OTHER important times to build self-esteem and confidence.

I think it's a matter of style but I would rephrase like this:
For young children, the first 5 years are the most important time for building self-esteem and confidence in their lives.
