Build that Self-Esteem Muscle (Self-Esteem Worksheet)

Helping your students think about and recognize their positive personality traits can significantly boost a child’s self-esteem for several reasons:

• Reflecting on positive characteristics can help a child become more aware of their strengths and qualities.
• Self-appreciation can lead to a healthier self-image and higher self-esteem.
• Focusing on positive traits can increase a child’s confidence in their abilities.
• Understanding personal qualities contributes to forming a strong and positive sense of personal identity.

This fun Why I’m Amazing set of templates is a great way to get kids to reflect and discuss why they think they’re amazing. Often, students find it hard to talk about why they believe they are amazing. Why not do it as a class and brainstorm each person and why everyone thinks they’re amazing? This a tremendous, uplifting lesson for your class.
