Help children discover their strengths, make choices and develop everyday confidence — with practical activities that respect each child’s boundaries and pace.
Confidence, Courage & Being Me includes 20 carefully structured activities for ages 3–6. Designed for Nursery and Reception, with adaptations for younger children and the transition to Year 1.
Explore four connected themes:
• Being me
• Noticing strengths
• Growing courage
• Making a difference
Each activity includes clear preparation, materials, step-by-step guidance, child-friendly conversation prompts, adaptations, reflection and safety reminders.
Children explore identity, interests, asking for help, making decisions, trying manageable steps and recognising the effects of their actions. Participation is always voluntary: watching, pausing, passing and saying no are valid choices.
