Positive Thinking: Exercises and Activities For Mental and Emotional Development
Description
It is far easier to encourage children to be positive in the light of the many challenges that face them than offer them the practical means of doing so. This book offers a helping hand. With its invitation to children to consider themselves as ‘mental athletes’ who can overcome the obstacles they face but see the benefits in them, it should prove a colourful addition to SEAL initiatives and PSHE programmes.
The programme format provides the facilitator with a session overview, learning objectives, resources, activities, a plenary session and ideas for further development. The material covers a range of issues including:
• Coping with change
• Bullying
• Black history
• Disability
• Developing personal responsibility.
A comprehensive approach is taken to helping children from the age of nine to maintain their self-esteem and well-being. It is divided into fifteen pre-planned units that are accompanied by a range of features that include:
• Fictional stories designed to highlight issues and provoke discussion
• An ongoing gallery of role models consisting of people who have triumphed over adversity
• Circle time discussion prompts
• Drama exercises and activity pages
• A game that is designed to reinforce the value of being positive.
