Key facts
What is the All About Me (Kids)?
‘All About Me’ activities invite children to describe their interests, strengths, relationships and hopes. They build rapport and support positive self-concept in a playful format.
Why it works
Children’s self-concept develops through experiences and relationships, and opportunities to reflect on strengths and support networks contribute to positive self-perceptions (Harter, 2012).
When to use it
- First sessions with children
- School counselling
- Self-esteem building
- Group activities
How to use it in session
- Invite the child to write, draw or dictate.
- Show curiosity and enthusiasm.
- Highlight strengths and caring people.
- Use answers to guide later sessions.
- Share with caregivers if the child agrees.
Clinician tips
- Let children decorate the page.
- Follow up on interests in later sessions.
- Gently notice if a child struggles to name strengths or caring people.
