Self-confidence affirmation cards for teachers and teens - colour in, reflect and really believe with these 10 colouring affirmation cards! Self-confidence is a fundamental factor in success and many of our youth in this day and age are lacking that self-belief they can succeed. We often hear "I can't do this", "I'm rubbish at this", "I can't do it on my own, you have to help me"... What some teachers have tried to do is introduce positive affirmations that students are to repeat over and over again. The idea is nice, but does it really work? Does saying something make it true? Well, at best we might get a temporary high or feel motivated for a short time, but in the long term it’s less likely to have lasting effects and that's because we are actually missing a very important step. Now picture yourself being the teacher who is able to help their student really believe these affirmations. Your students are able to believe it because you're helping them see the truth in these statements for themselves. With this pack of 10 affirmation cards, you can be that teacher. You will be giving your students some quiet reflection time where they can color in positive affirmations, but they will also be reflecting on some very significant and tailored questions that will help them prove that the affirmation they are stating is the truth. In time, you will see their self-confidence begin to flourish and success will be inevitable thanks to your guidance! There are 10 different cards to choose from in this set. Each quote comes in both postcard and business card size, ideal for keeping in wallets, lockers and pin boards etc. These are designed to be coloured in and then folded in half and glued together to keep forever - you could even have them laminated for maximum longevity! ​The great thing about these being colouring affirmations is, one, it saves on ink and money (hooray!), two it allows time for mindfulness where your students can sit and relax for a few minutes reflecting on the statement and questions, and three it personalises each card to help your students connect with it more - seeing their doodles reminds them of how they were feeling when they were colouring it in and answering the questions in their mind! By spending time colouring these in, you will give your students time to be creative and then associate that feeling when they look at the cards again in the future. It’s all mind games and using the power of our brains to achieve our potential. These would even be effective on us as teachers too, so give them a try and give you and your students the opportunity to just focus, motivate and enjoy yourselves today – you deserve it!

Are you concerned about the emotional health of your students? We all want our students to be healthy, and so we teach them about good nutrition and exercise. Fair enough! But what about their emotional health? I don’t know about you, but over the last few years especially, I have noticed more and more students suffering from feelings of anxiety. They’re struggling to manage these overwhelming emotions that are stemming from cultural changes of modern life. Academic stress (that is starting younger and younger), personal life and the pressures of social media are all playing their role and taking their toll. So, in an effort to help my students, and yours too, I have created this unit on Emotional Health which explores all the emotions that we feel and how a build up of them can sometimes lead to anxiety, as well as strategies for dealing with them. No prior knowledge or experience from you is required! Everything is laid out for you ready to teach. The PowerPoint guides you through each point of the lesson with plenty of discussion points and activities to keep students engaged and reflecting on their learning. Also included are graphic organizer printables which are supplementary to the PowerPoint: they’re not a requirement, but they work as a helpful tool for students to record their thoughts in an aesthetically pleasing way that can then be used for bulletin board displays etc. You will also find a set of discussion cards for students to discuss the topic of emotions and get the conversation going about something that is rarely talked about openly. This unit can be used as whole group, small group, or even for 1:1 counselling. Product includes: • 24 slide PowerPoint • 11 printables of graphic organizers • 6 scenarios to analyze • 24 discussion cards Students will learn: • To identify different types of emotions • What emotions are and why we have them • Why people have different emotions to the same scenario • How understanding emotions can help us • Helpful vs unhelpful emotions • What to do when an emotion is unhelpful • What to do when emotions are overwhelming • Physical and emotional effects of anxiety • Worries and concerns that can cause anxiety • How to help ease anxiety • Short term and long term strategies for anxiety Let’s break the stigma on openly talking about emotions and feelings. It doesn’t have to be something done in therapy alone, we all have emotions and our students need to learn why we have them and how we can manage them too. I have found teaching this unit is effective in morning meetings with tutor / advisory classes or as whole life skills lessons too, depending on how much time you can allocate. It is such a valuable topic to talk to our students about. Thank you for all you do to make a difference in young peoples’ lives! Great for Social Skills, Life skills and PSHE (Physical, Social, Health Education) lessons.

Teaching Character Education? Showing gratitude has been proven to increase long-term well-being, improve health, relationships, emotions and help us bounce back from stressful experiences.

This Gratitude Journal is the ideal way to help our students focus on the good aspects of their life and to appreciate their blessings – every one of us has something to be thankful for and this journal will be sure to highlight it! The journal contains 52 prompts, one for each week of the year. Each prompt is unique and encourages reflection on a wide range of life experiences, allowing for much more creativity and diversity in thinking and responses. It is not labelled by month or date so can be started at any time in the year – new starts don’t have to only begin on January 1st, and gratitude isn't just for Thanksgiving! You can let students take them home to complete as a private activity, or it can be done in school maybe at the start of the week as a Monday Morning Meeting. You will receive both a PRINTABLE and DIGITAL version to suit your needs! The digital one is ideal for opening up on Google Slides as it can be completed and looked at on any device, whenever and wherever! P.S.
