This theme invites children to reflect on their wishes about themselves and establish an interior dialogue. Starting from what they know and believe, what they can and they wish to be able to be or do, they are encouraged to evaluate what is the thing they do not like about themselves, why and how to change it into an agreeable thing. People can change!
Activities: brainstorming about what is a human being and the behaviours that define oneself, visualising exercises in order to help change a thing(behaviour, image about self, feeling or perspective one wishes for)
Children get the opportunity to:
- establish a better inner dialogue: identification of needs, wishes, resources and limits
- better regulate emotions
- identify and upgrade inner motivation, inner help and trust
- enhance self-compassion and self-care
- oversee decision making mechanisms together with self-compassion
