- Exploring a model of Self Esteem and how it can be adapted to be used with the children you work with.
- Introduction to effective communication and assertiveness, essential life skills that enable us to communicate how we feel and deal with challenging situations and learn how to take responsibility for our own feelings and behaviours.
- Throughout the day the focus will be on building your confidence and giving you opportunities to reflect and discuss how we can continue to raise our own self-esteem and be a role model for the children we work with.
