A FACILITATOR'S GUIDE FOR "SELF-ESTEEM"


Some Practice Situations

  • The kids tease me about my big ears. I'm not going to school anymore.

  • I missed 2 shifts today. The coach always gives the good players more ice time.

  • I hate my baby sister. She's stupid and all she does is cry and expect everybody to do things for her.

  • Why do I have to come in at 9:00 o'clock? None of my friends have to come home this early.

  • Somebody stole my gym clothes from the locker room.

  • I hate these braces. They make me look ugly. Tell the dentist to take them off.

  • Karen told my new friend, Julie, that I tell secrets. Now Julie won't talk to me. I'm going to get back at Karen.

  • This is the worst summer of my life. I want to move back to where we lived before.

  • I'm stupid. I can't even get the words right in a baby book.

  • I look like a freak from another planet. Put some snow on these zits and you could ski down them. Nobody will want to go to the dance with me.

  • My goldfish is dead.

  • That doctor is bad. He hurt me with that needle.

Listening to children will gain their trust to confide in you.
