The lesson “Developing Healthy Self-Esteem” teaches children to recognize their own God-given strengths and talents and to feel valued and loved by God for how they were created. Children are able to name their own special gifts, such as kindness, generosity, and love, as well as the importance of recognizing others’ inward characteristics rather than outward appearance. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 42nd lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
