Description: Positive self-talk is the practice of saying positive words to ourselves. It is very helpful to get through difficult situations. This deck was created to instill in young people, the awareness to differentiate positive from negative self-talk. Research tells us that using Positive Self-Talk moves us towards practicing a Growth Mindset and developing an internal locus of control, helps us to feel good about ourselves, and is a healthy coping tool and resilience-building protective factor for when times get tough. When children unknowingly develop a habit of negative self-talk, they rob themselves of experiences that can help them grow and learn. This deck is a step in the direction of awareness to not only identify negative self-talk but also what might be a better alternative to cultivate positive self-talk.
