They created thoughtful lists of all the reasons they **love themselves**. From talents in **sports** and **performing**, to wonderful traits such as **kindness**, **bravery**, and **helpfulness**, the children were able to recognise and celebrate the many qualities that make them unique. It was a lovely activity that encouraged confidence, positivity, and self‑belief — a perfect reminder that showing love to ourselves is just as important as showing love to others.
