From the Inside Flap

Here's a remarkable collection of ready-to-use activities and ideas to help young children feel good about themselves... develop friendships... celebrate diversity... and accept changes!

Altogether you'll find over 220 illustrated activities that are not only fun, but also provide countless opportunities to reinforce academic skills. Each takes a unique three-pronged approach to acquiring a positive sense of self:

  • The acquisition of self-esteem for the head
  • The inspiration to make a difference from the heart
  • Creative ideas, projects, and reproducibles for the hands
For easy use, all activities include a purpose, materials, step-by-step directions, and ideas to extend learning, and are organized into the following six sections:
  1. Wonderful Me-- 60 activities help children appreciate themselves through songs (Name Rap) homemade books (Who Am I? Big Book), art projects (Designer T-shirt), and other innovative activities (Chalk Talk)
  2. Friends, Friends, Friends-- 46 cooperative learning projects and activities encourage children to have fun with friends (Friendship Bubble) and to develop social skills (Moving and Singing With Friends)
  3. Feelings and emotions-- 35 activities show how to acknowledge emotions (Expression Headbands) and deal with them in acceptable ways (We Can Work It Out)
  4. Same and different-- children can explore how we are alike and different with 34 games (Pass the Parcel), recipes (What's Cooking at Your House?), and music and crafts activities (People Collage)
  5. Changes-- 28 activities cover health and fitness (Fitness Trail), safety (Don't Touch), and other concerns (If I Could Change the World), and empower children with tools for taking care of themselves in today's world.
  6. Parent pack-- includes 21 reproducible activities for parents to do with their children at home (Positive Partnership, Homework Task Cards, Who Is My Teacher?)
In the author's own words, Teacher must enhance the whole child emotionally as well as intellectually, physically, and socially to achieve his or her full potential. Although many support this principle, there is very little practical material to help teachers nurture emotional development in the classroom. Ready-to-Use Self-Esteem Activities for Young Children attempts to fill that void.

This book is great for teachers and elementary school counselors. As an elementary school counselor, I found several activities that I will use in my small counseling groups and in the classroom that will help promote healthy self - esteem in youngsters!

Working as a Learning Mentor I have a huge responsibility for raising children's self-esteem in an infant school. This has been the best book of its kind on the market I have found so far. The games are really good, developing and fun. Highly recommended!

Some useful activities, some not so good. Its very American therefore you have you be able to translate the language and context. I think you would need to use it regularly in order to get the most from it. If you had the time you could use it well but wouldn't be my first choice of resources.

I did a lot of research before I purchased this book. I teach young children and I found it difficult to find a book on self esteem that was suitable for 4-8 year olds. This book is a good resource for this age group and it contains complete lesson plans so it is very easy to use.
