(The number must match the number of your apartment)
Although this game is aimed at helping the child, it is intended rather for adults. It is they who should reinforce the self-esteem of the child, show him all the best that he has.
Create a small stand dedicated to the child in your apartment. Specify the time of its use, let’s say a week or two. During this period, your child will become the «star of your apartment», as all the rest of the household will follow his progress, celebrate his merits. Place a photo of the child in the center of the stand. Next, glue the petals on which you will make notes (you can also make a simpler option, it will appeal to middle school students more — in the form of a fence on which everyone writes what they want and in any of its places). During the specified time, inscriptions made by family members should appear on this stand, regarding both the permanent characteristics of the child that they appreciate, and those of his achievements and good deeds that they noticed during the current day. If desired, the child himself can add any note about himself.
Note. If there are several children in your family, then, of course, you need to create the same “star” stand for others, but you need to use them in turn — the “star of your apartment” should feel its exclusivity and uniqueness during the time allotted to it, get full volume the attention of loved ones, at least in the game without sharing it with brothers and sisters. After the expiration of the stand, it is given as a keepsake to the child himself, and he, if he wants, can place it in his room.
