Helping Children to Build Self Esteem: A Photocopiable Activities Book

The importance of developing a strong sense of self-esteem cannot be overestimated. Feeling good about who they are enables children to learn more effectively, helps them to cope with life's stresses and inspires them to create a better future for themselves. Yet the materials available for working on self-esteem tend to be too complex for use with children.

Based on the author's extensive clinical experience, these photocopiable activity sheets encourage children to use their natural imaginative and creative abilities to consider their relationships with themselves, their families and friends and their world and to express their feelings in words and pictures. These exercises are suitable for work with individuals and groups and with all children including those with special needs or with speech and language difficulties. This unique activities book will be an invaluable resource for anyone looking for creative, enjoyable ways of helping children to build their self-esteem.
