Self Esteem for Primary Schoolers Starter Pack

How often do you get asked to help a child improve their self esteem? This starter pack gives you a wealth of resources to address self esteem issues in primary schoolers.

Exploring My Self-Esteem is a nonthreatening game that draws on each child's experiences and emotions, revealing for the therapist how children see themselves and how they typically deal with their feelings. Sentence completion cards deal directly with self-esteem issues, while other game elements elicit clinical information indirectly. Players have the opportunity, for example, to tell stories about various aspects of their world, thereby giving the therapist a chance to examine feelings, relationships, and responses to the events presented in the stories. As the game is played, the therapist can tell stories, too, modeling self-expression and showing children that feelings are normal and that the impulses resulting from strong feelings can be managed. This is an exceptional tool for improving self-esteem.

One of a kind asks children to think about the way they make decisions, respond to criticism and peer pressure, what they are willing to do for friendship, how to set and reach goals, and use positive self talk. The aim is to teach children that certain thoughts, activities and situations tend to make them feel good about themselves, while others don't. Game cards also open up meaningful discussions that therapists can use to teach cognitive and behavioural habits that increase self-esteem.
