Joy Stories™ "Believe In Yourself"
CD and Turtle Finger Puppet
"Believe In Yourself" is a story of a sea turtle that struggles to overcome obstacles to reach the ocean from its sandy nest. This story models the skills children can use to overcome obstacles in their own lives. Children use the turtle's affirming example of, "I believe in myself" to develop a strong belief in their own abilities.
By listening to “Believe In Yourself” a child learns:
- Factual information about sea turtles.
- That using confidence-building words, i.e. "I believe in myself” can help when a situation calls for courage.
- That through thinking and listening to her/his inner voice, a child can solve a problem.
- To focus on the positives in his/her life.
