 LESSON 1: Knowing Oneself

Learning Skills: Recognizing One's Own Likes, Interests, and Potential

Things to Do

Just like you, all children have individual preferences, interests, potential. Often you want to show and share your interests and potential with other children. It's nice to show off your skills to other people for this is a gift the Lord has given you to share with other children just like yourself.

You may enjoy sharing your interests with others and sometimes you will be frustrated by things you cannot do. It just shows that every child has feelings of emotions like joy, anxiety, fear and so on.
