Developing self-compassion is helpful to good mental health and contributes to a stable sense of identity. Children in care will have faced great adversity in their life and so will often have low self-esteem, low self-worth and be confused about their identity. This course will take a look at these issues. We will look at just how important identity and self-esteem is, not just in the now but in the long term. Many children in care do not like themselves and it is of paramount importance that we teach them how to value themselves and believe in themselves, to teach them self-compassion and to be kind to themselves.

Amazing
Wonderful presentation
Fantastic insight
I gained great insight into taising the self esteem of children in our care. The part of this course that really gave me that wow moment was when it was explained that the boy who managed to stop his bedroom door alarm going off, stole the speaker and hid it. The skills needed to do this was explained so I came away with the understanding that this wasn’t a ‘naughty or bad’ child but a highly skilled one who needs to be shown how to channel his ability in a positive way. I knew this already but the clear concise way this was put across would make new carers see ‘naughty’ chikdren in a different more positive way.
Brillant
Good course and gives good support to understand behaviours .
identity &self esteem
a really good insight into how young people (not just in care } can see themselves as unworthy , and as us in cares should look deeper into their behavior and not judge to harshly and look for the reasons beyond the behavior, and try to find the positives not the negative’s.
Hidden skills
It was fascinating to consider the skills inherent in “bad behaviour” and consider this as a new perspective.
Identity & Self-Esteem
An excellent course reminding us that helping a child build a positive sense of self will allow them to flourish as adults.
Identity an Self Esteem
Thank you Scott for delivering a sensitive and child focused course! It is so important that carers have this insight into the child’s thought process to better understand and care for children!
