2. Try out the “I am Uniquely Me” activity from our Podcast Season 1 & 2 Printable Kit. This activity allows your child to reflect on everything that makes them who they are.
3. Make a “My Wins” list, as described HERE. Have your child make a list of moments they felt proud of themselves. They can also reflect on why they felt proud in that moment and what it felt like.
