The Self-Concept Workbook

by Berthold Berg PhD.

Ages 8 and up

This workbook supplements the Self-Concept Game. It reinforces self-esteem by encouraging a realistic evaluation of strengths and weaknesses. The child learns to apply nine different kinds of self-talk: Accepting Compliments, Making Realistic Comparisons, Not Overreacting to Failure, Minimizing Criticism, Recognizing Strengths, Expecting What's Reasonable, Expecting Success, Praising Self, and Taking Credit.

Using self-talk, the student can improve his or her self-concept and sense of competence in relation to school, friends, sports, behavior, and physical appearance.
