Children and teens often struggle with Self-Esteem issues. Raising Self-Esteem can help to change the child's negative view of themselves by disputing negative self talk. Creative techniques to increase Self-Esteem will help the child to focus on the people, places, and things that help to build self-confidence. Here are a few creative techniques to begin building Self-Esteem!
THE SELF-ESTEEM SHIELD
The self-esteem shield should include people, places, things, strengths, and skills that are positive for the client. The project can be adjusted for different age levels.
Bonus: I have also created a "Sword" and "Helmet" to go with this project. On the sword, I had the child write down "Sharp" comments that have hurt their self esteem (for example, "You're dumb"). The shield will protect from these sharp comments. On the paper Helmet, I had the child write down positive thoughts that protect the client from thinking negatively (for example, "I am a great friend").
Tip: Keep a stencil of the shield and sword, so that you can recreate this project with many clients!
