Furthermore, the resource persons shared some very useful techniques for children and adults through which they can help themselves overcome their negative self-schemas and enhance their self-esteem and self-efficacy. Miss Hira and Miss Rakia were of the view that during this wave of pandemic everyone should start exploring their traits and personalities only then they will be able to spot flaws which will enable them to bring a positive change in their thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
