Confidence & Self Belief ages 5-8

Confidence & Self-Belief

Confidence is something that grows over time. In this fun and practical educational wellbeing session, children learn that confidence does not mean never feeling nervous. Instead, confidence grows when we keep trying, learning from mistakes and taking small brave steps.

Through engaging activities and a practical wellbeing tool, children explore how positive self-talk, perseverance and bravery can help confidence grow, even when something feels difficult.

This session helps children learn to:

✔ Understand what confidence is

✔ Learn that confidence grows through trying, learning and practice

✔ Recognise that mistakes are a normal part of learning

✔ Learn the difference between “I can’t” and “I can’t yet”

✔ Identify thoughts that can make confidence feel smaller

✔ Practise positive self-talk and confidence-building thinking

✔ Understand that brave choices often come before confidence

✔ Learn simple strategies to use when feeling nervous or unsure

✔ Create their own personalised Bravery Box filled with positive reminders and encouraging messages

This session also includes:

✔ Pre-recorded lesson

✔ Printable worksheets and activities
