Empowering Kids, Building Their Self-Esteem, and Expressing Emotions

One way I help 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 and improve their 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 and 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗺 is by⁣

⁣

Reminding them that THEY ARE:⁣

⁣

𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱.⁣

⁣

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.⁣

⁣

𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲.⁣

⁣

And they can make⁣

⁣

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀.⁣

⁣

What better way to do this than to have them say it 𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗 & 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗗 for all to hear?!

⁣

Here is a clip of one of the kids from Kids Corner 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘭𝘺 and 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 participating in our “𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗿”⁣

⁣

We end 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 Junior session with this cheer.⁣

⁣

It’s one of my 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 of Kids Corner.⁣

⁣

𝗜 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗿 𝟭-𝗼𝗻-𝟭 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 “𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻”⁣

⁣

Here’s why I do it:⁣

It normalizes sharing feelings ⁣

⁣

It gives me a good idea of what I should focus on for that session⁣

⁣

In a group setting, it’s a great way to start conversations about feelings like anger, sadness, anxiety, and have kids share their experiences with these “big emotions”⁣

(Don’t mind my makeshift “standing desk” lol)
