These activity pages have been designed to allow and encourage teachers to become totally involved with the teaching of creative thinking skills. While there is no one accepted way of teaching ‘thinking’, we feel that in being provided with an organized and developmental outline of some of the sub-skills, teachers may more readily internalize these skills, allowing a smoother approach to teaching thinking within the classroom. While most experts can never agree on a definition, they do agree that ‘thinking’ has a series of sub-skills. For the purpose of teaching them each of these skills can be treated in isolation. They include: fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration, curiosity, complexity, risk taking and imagination. Each of these sets contain a teachers' note and four timed word questions relating to one of the skills. This ebook is available in US, UK and AU versions. This is a Photocopy Master ebook (45 pages) and activity pages may be photocopied for use in the classroom. Our ebooks are in pdf format. Edubooks is an imprint of Ready-Ed Publications.

Problems resulting from low self esteem often surface during a child’s adolescent years. Clearly, however, steps can be taken much earlier in life to prevent the development of these problems. Alternatively action may need to be put in place that will assist children seen as ‘at risk’ in terms of a low self esteem. Educators and parents will recognise the signals of these ‘at risk’ children from the descriptions given in 'Raising Self Esteem in the Young' and will be able to use the activity pages to help children regain a healthy self esteem. The importance of action in the formative years is highlighted when it is realised that the feelings children hold about themselves may well determine the level of their achievements both in childhood and later life.
