Shining Your Light!! Ways to Build Self-Confidence in Young Children through Celebrating Our Uniqueness.

When I look back to when I was in third grade (my first memories of feeling insecure about myself) I remember it stemming from a feeling of being different and not wanting to be different.

I thought that being different was bad and would make me “uncool” so instead I just wanted to be the same as everyone else so no one would think I was weird. A very powerful way to build and boost self-confidence in young children is by teaching them how to celebrate uniqueness.

Celebrating uniqueness shows children that being unique and different is amazing and is a gift.

One of my favorite ways to teach children this is by creating a “unique traits” journal. A unique traits journal is where children can reflect and write down what makes them, their friends, and their family members unique traits and what makes them special. I love this so much because it really promotes the celebration of and fun around being different!

Another favorite way to encourage the celebration of uniqueness is by promoting personalized projects based on their individual interests. By doing this they can begin to explore and align with their individual interests and unique hobbies. The connection and realization of what sparks their inner light and
interest will then allow them to share it with the world with confidence and celebration!
