Important information This  Building Resilience pupil leaflet is meant to be used as part of ELSA Sessions or some other therapeutic session and shouldn’t just be given out to children without some input.

It is your responsibility to decide whether the information in this leaflet will be helpful to your pupils. Under our terms and conditions these leaflets must not be put onto school websites. They are for printing and giving to pupils at the end of a session or you could use them as a basis for your session. Work through each part with the pupil.

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.
