Loss of Confidence

Download this 17 slide ‘Loss of Confidence’ PowerPoint to help children understand that people feel confident when they really believe in someone, or something, or themselves and confidence is the opposite feeling to being unsure, or worrying.

The PowerPoint will encourage children to think about why confidence is important, when are the times when they may feel confident, why people can lose confidence and what happens to people’s behaviour when they do.

Share the important messages about how to build, or re-build, confidence which include:

• positive self-talk (including making a ‘self-talk’ flower)
• gratitude
• motivation and how to motivate yourself
• an important ‘Don’t give up’ message

The PowerPoint finishes with advice about for children for when they are losing confidence – talking to someone about feelings is important because they may bring new ideas which might help.

A very useful PowerPoint, with practical ideas, which will encourage children to think about their own confidence and will help them develop strategies for when they are feeling less confident.
