Reflecting on Strength: Creating a Mirror to Build Confidence in Children Who Have Experienced Trauma
Creating Art has a remarkable way of helping children process and heal from trauma, and one of my favorite empowering activities is creating a mirror that celebrates their unique qualities! Children who have experienced trauma often struggle with feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, or distrust. Building confidence is essential for these children, as it helps them regain a sense of control and self-worth!
In this post, we'll explore how crafting a personalized mirror with a self-affirming frame can boost confidence and self-esteem in children who have faced difficult experiences.
