'The Confidence Scale': Developing Self-Esteem and Emotional Self-Regulation

‘The Confidence Scale’ has been designed to support children and young people with identifying their confidence level on a scale.

This is perfect for building self-esteem and self-regulation when it comes to tackling challenging tasks that we might otherwise be unsure of.

Scaling a problem can help it to seem more manageable but also support the young person in tracking their progress and identifying how confident they feel.

How could this resource be used?

To support emotional regulation.
To support emotional literacy and identifying confidence.
To support a child 1:1.
To support all children as part of a classroom display.
To support with confidence building and self-esteem development.
