Grade 5 · SEL · Lesson 5

Self-Talk & Confidence

There is a quiet voice that runs in your head all day. It comments on what you do, what you wear, who you talk to, and how things are going. That voice is called self-talk — and you can train it. A coach in your head helps you grow. A critic in your head shrinks you. Today you learn the difference and how to flip the script.
