Children get a structured way to name their strengths, effort and kindness in their own words. The activity is designed as a printable self-esteem worksheet for children, with short sentence starters that support positive self-talk, confidence building, emotional wellbeing and personal reflection.
The page is headed “I am an amazing person!” and includes the affirmation “I am special, I am unique, and I am amazing!” Around the page are writing prompts such as “I am kind because…”, “I am brave because…”, “One thing I do well is…”, “I help others by…”, “I keep trying when…”, “Something that makes me special is…” and “I am an amazing person because…” The design also includes stars, hearts, a rainbow, a pencil and doodle-style shapes that children can colour in.
Parents, carers, teachers, school counsellors, therapists and pastoral staff could use it with primary school children, younger kids who enjoy drawing and writing, or children who need a gentle boost in self-belief. It may be useful during PSHE lessons, nurture groups, wellbeing sessions, therapy activities, home learning, classroom reflection time or one-to-one support after a difficult day.
The prompts are short enough for children who may find long writing tasks overwhelming, while still encouraging meaningful answers. It works well as a self-worth worksheet, positive affirmation activity, strengths worksheet, confidence worksheet or feelings and identity activity, especially when an adult can talk through the answers with the child afterwards.
The printable format makes it easy to use as a standalone activity, a calm corner task, a counselling worksheet or part of a wider emotional literacy session. Created by Edita Stiborova, it offers a simple way to help children recognise the good things they already do and the qualities that make them special.
