'Celebrating Being Fin-Tastic': Boosting Self-Esteem Workbook for Children

The ‘Celebrating Being Fin-Tastic’: Boosting Self-Esteem Workbook for Children’ resource is a valuable tool for children and young people to recognise and celebrate their successes and achievements, in turn boosting their levels of self-esteem.
With a focus on positive affirmation, building up a healthy sense of self-worth and exploring strengths, it provides a platform for them to highlight and reflect on their positive moments, no matter how big or small they may be.
The sea-themed activity sheets help to inspire children to strive towards their goals and to take pride in themselves and their accomplishments. This resource is a tool that can empower children and young people to recognise their potential and promote a positive outlook.
