Self-Confidence Interactive PowerPoint Bundle

Many of the ways kids and teens try to build self-confidence don’t actually work—and in fact, sometimes it can make the problem worse! In this lesson bundle, I bust myths about self-confidence and teach the less obvious ways to truly build confidence.

Video Preview Available!

Each lesson teaches kids why the principles work, not just how to implement them. When kids understand the “why” behind something, they are much more motivated to figure out the “how."

Each zero-prep lesson includes:

• direct instruction
• interactive features
• built-in comprehension checks
• animations, and more.

Just download and teach right away! No prep or prior subject knowledge needed!

*PowerPoint is needed for this to work. Google Slides cannot perform interactive features or most animations- which is what makes these lessons really shine. A free online PowerPoint viewer is available.

Lessons include:

0) Intro- This lesson teaches kids how some of the ways we try to build confidence are like drinking salt water to fix our thirst- it actually makes the problem worse!

1) Doing Hard Things: Sometimes we avoid doing hard things because we think our confidence will lower if we fail, but actually doing hard things is one of the best ways to grow confidence.

2) Self-Respect: Sometimes we think beating ourselves up will help us become better, or changing ourselves to fit in will grow our confidence, but actually learning to show respect for yourself by sticking to your standards, not hiding parts of yourself, protecting yourself, and knowing your limits will actually grow your confidence.

3) Respecting Others: We sometimes think putting others down will help us feel better about ourselves, but actually learning to show respect for others helps grow confidence most.

4) Fix Thinking Errors: Sometimes our brain gets tricked by thinking errors. This lesson teaches students to recognize and correct confidence-lowering thinking errors such as: mind-reading, filtering out the positive, comparing weaknesses to strengths, and feeling more guilt than matches the size of a mistake.

5) Taking Responsibility: What does responsibility have to do with confidence? More than you think! When you learn to take responsibility for your actions, your confidence grows as you realize you have the power to grow and change into who you want to be.

6) Get to Know Yourself: Sometimes our behavior drives people away even though we want to connect, and this can lower our confidence. Learning to dig deep and understand the “why” of your behavior and learn healthier ways to reach your goals, can grow your confidence. This lesson also teaches kids how to value parts of themselves even if others don’t.

7) Self-Control: Having self-control helps build confidence because you feel like you get to choose how you act and where you go in life. This compassionate, mindfulness-based approach gives students quick tools to use to boost impulse control.

Great for whole class instruction as well as one-on-one with a teacher or parent and student.
