Okay, so Alicia's sons teacher had the coolest idea! It is human nature to focus on the things in our lives that are hard, frustrating, challenging, aggravating, maddening, hair-pulling.....you get the idea. So, what can we do to help teach our children to focus on the positive things in their lives? Or to look at the positive things about themselves?
So, here is what we came up with! An upcycled kraft peanut butter container decorated with paper and stickers from around the house. Easy to personalize for each child!
And inside, there are large sized popsicle sticks for either you or you and your child together to write on all the things that they are good at, "stars" at! I happened to have enough star stickers to put a star at the top of each popsicle stick! (By the way, I was able to find these sticks at the dollar store for $1.50 as opposed to the $5 we paid last time at Michaels!)
So, what kinds of things do you do to encourage your children and promote a healthy self confidence?
