Stick Up for Yourself: Every Kid’s Guide to Personal Power & Positive Self-Esteem

Stick Up for Yourself: Every Kid’s Guide to Personal Power & Positive Self-Esteem. A self-help guide to positive thinking, high self-esteem, and responsible personal power. Based on a program originally developed for adults, the book’s premise is that all young people can and should be taught the skills necessary to face common issues, such as making choices, liking themselves, and solving problems. Exercises guide readers through learning about their own feelings, dreams, and needs–while stressing that they are responsible for their own behavior and happiness.

Written in manual form, Stick Up For Yourself is similar in format to the many adult titles of the same genre. Situational anecdotes used to enhance the discussion are age appropriate and relevant to children. Of particular value are the “Getting Personal” sections that encourage writing and keeping a journal, which makes the guide more interactive and meaningful. The highly motivated will use this book independently, but it will be most effective within the classroom, family, or guidance group.
