The lesson “Developing Healthy Self-Esteem” teaches children more about recognizing and identifying their own God-given strengths and talents. Each child describes at least three positive personal characteristics, such as kindness, generosity, and love. The children then discuss ways to use positive qualities to help others and how when those positive qualities are recognized, it feels good. 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 seventh lesson in the 2nd Year “Emotional Development” unit.
