Does your child often feel isolated and do they struggle to get involved in social situations? Are they nervous about what people think of them, or maybe they’re just a little unsure of how they feel about themselves? These could be signs that your child is experiencing low self-esteem. This practical guide combines proven cognitive-behavioural therapy methods used by child psychologists in schools with simple activities to help your child grow their self-esteem. It’s aimed at children aged 7–11 because a lot happens in these years that can impact a child’s sense of self-worth, not just now but for years to come. Your child will be guided, with the help of Bop – a friendly and supportive character they can identify with – through fun and engaging activities which are interspersed with useful tips, inspirational statements and practical information for parents.
I have seen these books becoming more and more popular. It contains lots of different coping strategies for children who may feel anxious for different reasons. Distraction techniques and self actualisation techniques were included. You could use this book with a group of children and photocopy the pages of it could be for children to use at home.
An excellent book for educating parents and teachers in how to help children with their self-esteem so that they remain healthy and happy. Lots of helpful activities I will definitely be using in the future as a qualified teacher to boost self-esteem within the classroom too (the happiness jar is one of my favourites!). Can highly recommend for those preparing for PGCE years along with the short courses offered by the charity Place2Be
