Participants will learn how to make creative projects that help children and teens reflect on their unique personality, establish a personal motto, and create a vision for their future. Specifically, they will learn to make a Name-Poem (acrostic poem) OR a rhyming poem, a Coat-of-Arms OR a totem pole as well as a Vision Board. These projects are fun for people of every age and help promote self-esteem. The training session will show samples, demonstrate how-to make each project, and explain the importance of these tools for personal growth. Foster parents will be able to teach these techniques to the children in their homes far into the future. A supply list incorporating items you have at home will be supplied during the session
Upon completion of this course, participants will:
- Learn how creative activities can help their foster children build their self-esteem.
- Learn teachable activities by practicing them during the workshop session.
- Discover new ways to connect and create a deeper bond with the foster children in their care.
