'Celebrating Being Fin-Tastic': Boosting Self-Esteem Workbook for Children
The ‘Celebrating Being Fin-Tastic’: Boosting Self-Esteem Workbook for Children’ resource is a valuable tool for children and young people to recognise and celebrate their successes and achievements, in turn boosting their levels of self-esteem.

The sea-themed activity sheets help to inspire children to strive towards their goals and to take pride in themselves and their accomplishments. This resource is a tool that can empower children and young people to recognise their potential and promote a positive outlook.
How could this resource be used?
- To support and promote positive self-esteem.
- To celebrate accomplishments and personal achievements.
- To support children to share what they like about themselves and what they would like to celebrate with others.
