Children's Mental Health Week Growth Booklet

This is our Know Yourself, Grow Yourself Tab Booklet for Children’s Mental Health week 2025

This is a resource to support that week for our ELSA community but also great for teachers, teaching assistants and whole school work.

Our Know yourself, grow yourself Tab Booklet is designed to help children explore self-awareness. Each letter of the word ‘GROWTH’ represents an essential aspect of their journey toward knowing themselves and growing into their full potential.

G is for Goals: This section encourages children to set meaningful personal goals. They can break them down into small, achievable steps to inspire motivation and celebrate progress.
R is for Resilience: Pupils learn about bouncing back from challenges and develop tools to keep going even when things feel tough.
O is for Own Your Emotions: Understanding and naming emotions is key to self-awareness. This section helps children explore their feelings and to create their very own feelings wheel.
W is for Wellbeing: This section focuses on self-care. This teaches pupils simple ways to nurture their mental and physical health for a balanced life. Pupils will create their own wellbeing menu.
T is for True Self: It’s all about discovering what makes each child unique, celebrating their individuality, and building confidence in who they are. Pupils will create an all about me page.
H is for Highlight My Growth: Reflecting on progress is an essential part of growth. This section helps children recognise how far they’ve come and feel proud of their achievements.
With interactive activities, reflection prompts, and creative exercises, the GROWTH Tab Booklet offers a practical and fun way for children to understand themselves better and embrace their personal development journey. Perfect for classrooms, wellbeing sessions, or home use, it’s a valuable resource to support mental health and resilience.
