1. Self-confidence and self-awareness prompts
This is a useful prompt to ensure that self-confidence and self-awareness is covered and taught effectively towards the month age band.

2. Self-confidence and self-awareness
During whole class sessions designate planned ‘talk partners’ (confident speaker with a less confident speaker) s o that the children have a balanced mix of child interaction.
Also introduce planned talking groups (mixed ability of 4 children), this will enable children to become familiar and confident with a small group of children.
By creating different groupings within the setting you are ensuring that all children get a chance to learn skill sets of their peers, e.g. listening, speaking, sequencing or turn taking.
Encourage the children to take charge of their own learning. At the end of each day discuss what worked well in the classroom and what did they enjoy? What didn’t work well? How could we make it better?
Introduce a new topic to the children and ask what they would like to find out? Have in the classroom?
When setting up the outside area allow a small group of children to choose which physical activities they would like out e.g. balls, bikes, bats or beanbags. This will encourage them to try new activities and self evaluate.
Children become confident when they are trusted. Create a daily/weekly job list and have monitors.
Include the child with their own learning by asking their lies/dislikes. What would they like set up for tomorrow? Can they help adults set up tables? Areas?
Plan activities around each child and ensure that experiences cater for all learners.
Self-confidence and self-awareness
Confident to speak to others about own needs, wants, interests and opinions.
Can describe self in positive terms and talk abut abilities.
Make sure activities are varied to gain children's interest and build upon their skills. Ensure that all resources are made ready available for their learning e.g.. at height level and clearly labelled.
