Self-love can be complicated by experiences, emotions, and a child’s own worldview based on their history. This activity pack won’t magically force a child to love himself/herself, but it will highlight a child’s strengths and provide them with insights.

When you are providing guidance and instruction on social-emotional topics, it is important to be aware of your students’ reactions to each activity. If you notice any students who exhibit signs of distress, it is important to address those reactions. In some cases, it might be beneficial to refer a student to the school counselor or school psychologist.

Thank you for taking the time to check out this self-love activities product. Please direct questions to me PRIOR to purchasing this product.
