Today, many children and teenagers struggle with negative perceptions of themselves. This contributes to anxiety and other harmful behaviors as they grow older. Recognizing their strengths and knowing what makes them "amazing" can be a great way to assist them in developing a positive self-image.
The I Am Amazing Worksheet instructs clients to list qualities and achievements that they are proud of. It provides examples at the top to guide their reflections, which allows them to articulate in their own words what makes them feel "amazing."
This worksheet helps increase self-awareness among kids and teens as they identify their strengths and understand how these abilities add to their confidence and self-worth. They can boost their experience with the worksheet by regularly reflecting on their positive qualities and celebrating small wins.
They may pair this activity with positive affirmations whenever they need a self-esteem boost. Sharing their insights with trusted adults or peers is another way to help them feel more supported.
