"Thinking unkind things about yourself will make you feel unhappy, but thinking kind things about yourself can do the opposite."
When Dwight's mean inner voice tackles his soccer skills, Tia jumps in to turn the game around. Stomach in knots, Dwight heads to Tree for help. With mirror pep talks and memory jogs, Dwight finds the courage to blast past big feelings and shout out his strengths. Join Dwight and Tia on an uplifting journey about rewriting the scripts in our heads and becoming our own heroes.
In this lesson, students explore the concept of self-talk and how the words we say to ourselves can impact our emotions, confidence, and actions. They learn that positive self-talk-such as saying, "I can do it" or "I am a good friend"-can help us feel strong, calm, and ready to keep going, especially when something is hard. Through games, story discussion, and a mirror reflection activity, students practice identifying kind thoughts and using them to support themselves.
