    Teaching Social Skills and Creating Successful Students by

    Making Positive Self-Comments


    Positive Self-Talk. This skill has been adapted from Making Positive Self-Comments in Teaching
    SKILL TO TEACH
    Social Skills to Youth 4th Edition, available at boystownpress.org.

    AGE All Grade Levels

    OBJECTIVE Students will choose four Positive Self-Talk phrases and create a bracelet for each phrase.

    • Positive Self-Talk Poster


    MATERIALS • Marker to write on the white board
    NEEDED • Slip of paper for each student
    • Bracelet-making materials (can also use thick rubber bands and sharpies)

    Introduce the Skill


    „ At Boys Town we know it’s important to Teach Love. When we say ‘teach love’ we mean
    showing human kindness and giving praise.
    „ Ask your students:
    PLANNED • Who are some people you show kindness and love to?
    TEACHING • What statements of praise do you give them?
    • Sometimes we’re in a grumpy mood or make a mistake. Do you think it’s also
    important to show love and kindness to ourselves?
    • How do you praise yourself?

    Describe the Appropriate Behavior


    1. Identify things you do well.
    2. State your accomplishment honestly and avoid exaggerating.
    3. Begin with “I can…” “I am…” “I am proud of…”
    4. Avoid putting down the efforts of others.
    5. Make sure new topic is appropriate for your setting.

    Give a Reason
    „ We’ll feel better and do better when we recognize our own strengths more than our
    weaknesses. We can’t show love for others until we make sure our own buckets are full and
    that we’ve shown kindness to ourselves.

    Practice
    • Introduce bracelets and example positive self-talk.
    • In small groups, brainstorm positive self-talk.
    • Share ideas as a whole group and leader/teacher lists ideas on the board.
    • Each student writes down the phrase they’ll put on their ‘praiselet’.
    • Teacher/leader demonstrates how to make ‘praiselet’.
    • Students make ‘praiselets’; adults circulate the room.

    Making Positive Self-Comments

    „ Discuss these prompts with your students:


    • We talked about positive self-talk. Someone remind us- what is positive self-talk?
    DISCUSSION • What are some examples? How does it help us?
    • You made positive self-talk ‘praiselets’. How might these teach you to say positive
    comments to yourself?

    HOMEWORK „ Encourage students to have the number of Positive Self-Talk comments outweigh the number
    of negative comments.
