Welcome! Today we’ll explore your self-esteem through reflection, affirmation, and goal setting. I’ll guide you step by step so you walk away feeling empowered and confident.

Begin by asking how they feel today. Explain that understanding current feelings helps track growth. Encourage honesty and openness.

Hand over the Self-Reflection Worksheet. Ask the student to think of real examples and share them aloud. Probe with “Tell me more” as needed.

Show the Affirmation Cards. Model converting a negative thought like “I’m not good enough” into “I’m learning and growing every day.” Then let the student practice.

Guide them through each SMART criterion. Offer examples: Specific (“Ask a question in class once a week”), Measurable, etc. Help refine until it feels achievable.

Have the student share their SMART goal and favorite affirmation. Reinforce progress made today and outline next steps for ongoing support.
