The Gold Box: What is inside is what counts

An analogy about confidence and accepting yourself.This book is about understanding how to accept yourself and build confidence. It has a fun rhyming way of telling the story for children and then a second story as a way for young teens to learn. You have a gold box inside you that holds what you really are as a person. The problem is you can't see inside your own box, nobody can! You can only see in others' boxes. Only other people can see in your gold box. How can you know what it is in there if you can't see in your own gold box? Compare yourself to others? See what others tell you? The book is about choosing what to believe about yourself and accepting that nobody is perfect. Everyone wants to feel accepted and wants to fit in. Instead of changing yourself, try being yourself. Not everyone is going to like that, but it is not about making them happy. It is about being happy with yourself. If you be yourself, people will really like you as a person, not just who you're pretending to be. The choices that you make are what go your gold box, not other people's words. When you make good choices and choose to be the best version of yourself, good things go in your gold box.The book also contains helpful information for teaching children and young teens to build confidence. It further contains helpful discussion questions for every age and level of maturity. It is perfect for reading together if you are family, foster family, caregiver, counselor, social worker, teacher, or family friend to help the child feel more secure with themselves and confident about their future.
