Phrase
Is this sentence correct:
"I hope all the support Quaden has received helps him to build a good self-esteem, and that he grows up to live a very happy life."
Top answer
I don't think there is such a thing as "bad self-esteem", so I think you should definitely omit "a good". In any case, 'self-esteem' is uncountable, so omit at least "a". Note that "to" is optional, so I put it in parentheses below.
