We are excited to introduce our ADHD Positive Character and Strengths Cards, designed to celebrate and nurture the unique qualities of pupils with ADHD. These cards highlight the positive traits and strengths that make each pupil special, helping to build self-esteem, confidence, and a positive self-image. Please note that these cards could be used with any child. Lots of children are undiagnosed ADHD so these cards may help to give you evidence towards diagnosis. Included in the ADHD Positive character and strengths cards: 56 cards (ideas for traits given by practitioners with ADHD or with personal experience of ADHD). 10 ideas on how to use the cards These cards serve as daily reminders of their strengths, such as creativity, problem solving, and resilience, shifting the focus from challenges to capabilities. By regularly acknowledging and celebrating these qualities, pupils begin to see themselves in a more positive light, fostering a sense of pride and self-worth. The consistent reinforcement of their strengths helps to build confidence, encouraging them to embrace their individuality and approach new situations with a positive mindset. This shift in perception not only enhances their self-esteem but also empowers them to use their strengths in overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals. The cards are 8 to an A4 sheet of paper. If you want bigger cards use your print settings to print onto A3. This might depend on the age you are working with. Suitable for all children. Children love to learn BIG words and with this pack they can certainly do that. One of the ideas in the pack: Create a Personal Strengths Book Help the pupil create a scrapbook of their trait cards, combining them with pictures and stories that highlight their strengths.

Here you have a PowerPoint file of editable names. You can click on the name and change it. It will go to two lines if you want to add a surname too. The box is set to stay the same but your writing will be smaller or bigger depending on how many letters you put in. There are 15 hand drawn backgrounds included in this pack all great for mindful colouring. Some are more complex than others so choose one that you think the pupil will like. The font is embedded into the file. Once you have chosen from the 15 backgrounds, click on the name and change it. Click ‘Save as’ and save the PowerPoint first. Click ‘Save as’ again and choose PDF from the drop down list. You can then print that page from your PDF. You can duplicate one design if you want to by right clicking on the slide on the left hand side of your screen and choosing duplicate. This pack is great for an opening session or just to catch up with the child after the long holiday. They can take it away with them and finish it at home if they want to.
