Boosting Confidence in your Students

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Confidence

The first attitude of the year in Passport to Peace is CONFIDENCE.  In the early weeks of any new school year there are many things that may cause students to be cautious.  Fear of a new school or teacher, making new friends, learning new subjects can all cause children stress.   Passport to Peace boosts confidence in your students. 

Read the story of Confidence to the students and reinforce the reflection with the activity sheet provided in your materials.  Your Teacher Manual is an excellent resource for other books, quotes and websites that also use confidence.  Most of all just remind your students that they can show confidence in their own abilities and qualities to achieve their dreams.

How do you boost your child’s confidence?
