Brilliant Ideas for Boosting Your Child's Self-Esteem

I found this gem of a book in our local bookstore. When I browsed through, I could not let it go! It contains 52 creative ideas jam-packed with drama techniques, exercises and games that we can practice on our children, and/or our students to help them come out of their shells and shine!




Here are some of the things our children and students can gain from the exercises in this book:

- self-belief and the confidence to stand up on their own
- the confidence to accept constructive criticism and not be afraid to unleash their imagination
- better concentration
- full use of the five senses
- the ability to tackle phobias and fears that could be holding them back without realizing it
- the ability to cope in real-world situations

Following are some of the wonderful topics covered in this book. All the 52 ideas (topics) are dealt with in detail and supplemented with creative games and exercises to develop and reinforce the subject.

1. Manners maketh man (and child)
2. Once upon a time, a man made up rhyme
3. Improvisation means imagination
4. Ah… the magic of live theatre
5. Attention please, no upstaging here, thank you!
6. Keeping a lid on anger
7. Get that spider off me - facing phobias
8. New friends, new situations
9. Acting without judgement
10. Performing under pressure

and many more!

I simply love this excellent resource for parents and teachers! :D
