Self-Image: How you view you!

In my Martial Arts School this week, we are discussing Self-Image with the children.  I explain it to them like this:  Self-Image: How you view you!

We opened up our conversation today with the question: "What do you think Self-Image is?"  The answered varied based on age....the ages 8 and up'got it' immediately.  How you view yourself.

My goal for them in todays lesson was to "view yourself in positive terms."  The conversation is open now for the rest of the week.  I asked them to look in the mirror and think of something good that they can say about themselves tomorrow.  I will also ask them this week to verbalize something good about their character, their abilities in various activities, their school work.

Beginning with the end in mind, I want them by Saturday, to have several 'positive' things, positive images in their minds about various pieces of their beings.

Being their "own best friend" (positive self-esteem), coupled with the positive images and positive self-talk we've been discussing gets our little ones 'feeling good' about who they are......

Good food for thought for us all..............LDS
