I’M GOOD,I’M VERY GOOD

A simple strategy I used with my low-performing first graders was this simple rap. Many of them were constantly reprimanded, put down and made to feel inadequate.

I would have them do this simple rap to enforce self-esteem and improve self-image.

I’M GOOD (PUT RIGHT HAND ON LEFT SHOULDER)

I’M VERY GOOD (PUT LEFT HAND ON RIGHT SHOULDER)

AND I CAN DO GOOD THINGS! ( GIVE THEMSELVES A GREAT BIG HUG)

When your child does something good, have them do this simple activity. Repeat throughout the day as they do things that are positive. When my husband would cook a good dinner ,even he would say it It is very positive and can lead your child to truly believe he does have worth.
