How this self esteem workbook for kids builds confidence

Children are introduced to Glow, a cheerful little star, who explains that self esteem means how you feel about yourself inside. From there they pick their strengths out of 24 options, notice grumpy critic thoughts and trade them for kind coach thoughts, and change "I can't" into "I can't yet" with a plan to practice.

A jar of compliments, a list of proud moments and a week of kindness collect real evidence of what is good about them, ready to reread on wobbly days. The brave steps ladder and the tracker make small daily wins visible. At the back, parent notes offer simple phrases to use, so the two of you can work through the pages together.
