Messages to yourself
The Messages to Self poster contains positive affirmations that children can use to boost their self-esteem and develop a healthy relationship with themselves.
Teachers can use this poster to promote self-reflection and self-acceptance in children. The poster is a reminder of the importance of having boundaries, the courage to say 'no' and that it is okay to ask for help. It can also be used as part of daily rituals where children can select and repeat the affirmations that most resonate with them. The poster can be used with younger and older pupils. They promote expected behaviours in pupils and are based on the PBIS Positive Behaviour Support System. You can find out more about PBIS, other free materials and training here.
