Parent Group Works on Family Identity and Self-Esteem Building Project

Creating Family Banners Promote Sense of Identity and Child Self-Esteem

For the last five years, I've had the privilege of working with a wonderful group of parents who volunteer as foster parents for children with learning and behavioral disabilities. Their work is truly awesome, and it has been an honor to learn from them over the years. At this year's retreat, our afternoon session focused on helping children develop a sense of identity and healthy self-esteem through hands-on craft activities. As a group, we worked through each activity with a focus on ourselves so parents could then take the activities home and work through them with their children. These pictures show the parents working on their family banners. Check them out, and when you're ready, try these self-esteem and identity building activities with your own family.
