Description
THE SELF-ESTEEM GAME
Book Summary
A practical and playful resource for strengthening self-esteem in children aged 9 and up. Using the well-known "Game of the Goose" (Oca), this book combines self-assessment tests with an activity program to work on four key areas: social, physical, emotional, and personal self-esteem. Designed for use in therapy, in the classroom, or at home, it offers fun strategies that foster self-knowledge, social skills, and emotional management, helping young people develop a positive self-image.
What is it about?
The book presents a structured approach to child self-esteem development, divided into four fundamental types: social, physical, emotional, and personal. For each of these areas, the work proposes a three-phase process: first, self-knowledge tests that allow the child to identify their current level; second, an evaluation of the results; and third, a program of specific activities to boost that dimension of their self-esteem. All of this is organized around the dynamics of the Game of the Goose, making learning an engaging and motivating experience. The content is adapted to the developmental stage starting at age 9, a time when children begin to develop more critical thinking, improve their decision-making, and understand complex social norms.
