How to Cultivate Self Esteem in Students: Teacher Resources

Children begin to develop self-esteem very early, particularly in school when they compare themselves to peers and start to explore their unique skills.  Children who grow a positive self-view early on:

·     Are resilient or better able to cope with life’s challenges

·     Are academically successful

·     Are responsible decision-makers

·     Have healthy relationships with friends and family members

·     Are less likely to engage in risky behaviors

·     Are more likely to set and pursue meaningful goals

·     Are empowered to speak up for themselves

I've put together some teacher activities to use along with my book I'd Rather Be Me that I share before my school visits. But these activities can be used anytime, even without my book. Check them out.
