Teen Self-Esteem

Facilitator Reproducible Self-Esteem Worksheets, Self-Assessments, Exercises, & Educational Handouts

To be able to reach personal and professional goals, self-esteem is critical. For teens, healthy self-esteem is even more critical, emotionally and physically. Self-esteem dictates how teens treat and feel about themselves and others, assert themselves, view and act in the world, and take care of their basic needs. Self-esteem is so important that research suggests that low self-esteem impacts many mental and physical health issues.

The Teen Self-Esteem Workbook can help teens engage in self-reflection, examine their thoughts and feelings that either enhance or detract from healthy self-esteem, and learn practical tools and techniques for building feelings of self-esteem and self-worth. The workbook includes facilitator reproducible self-esteem worksheets, self-assessments, exercises, and educational handouts.

Each chapter includes a self-esteem scale and self-esteem worksheets.

The sections in this book include:

• Teen Self-Esteem helps teens explore their perceptions and feelings about themselves.
