Self-esteem touches on a few areas of our life, but let’s separate it from things we don’t want (pointless anxiety, poor morals, poor treatment of others, selfish manipulation).
Does high self esteem mean lack of respect for others?
That statement is about not having enough regard for others, not about having too much for oneself. They are separate.
Does low self-esteem mean being promiscuous?
No, confident, curious people like casual sex too. Many low self-esteem people have sexual morals and rules for themselves.
Does God dislike self-esteem?
“You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” That’s a good case for valuing your self. With some humilty and respect for others, but still valuing yourself.

Is it a soft approach and about not disciplining our children?
No. How they value themselves is separate to how you discipline them.

Is self-esteem conditional on what other people think of you?
No. Self-esteem is seeing value in yourself. There are no external conditions. You may come to internalise what other people say, but if it affects your self esteem, it happens when you accept what they say, not when they say it.
