Parents, carers, social workers, counsellors, therapists and teachers working with children or teenagers can use this single-page printable worksheet to support positive self-reflection. It is especially useful for kids and teens who find it hard to recognise their strengths, talk about what they have achieved, or see progress in themselves.
The activity is titled “My Strengths & Achievements” and includes eight numbered boxes where a young person can write or draw their personal strengths. The layout uses friendly black-and-white illustrations, including a trophy, star, heart, light bulb, smiley face and rainbow, making it suitable for colouring, drawing, or short written answers.
A structured achievements table invites the child or teenager to record something they did, explain why they are proud of it, and describe how it made them feel. This format can help link actions with emotions, encourage pride in small wins, and support conversations about confidence, resilience, effort and personal growth.
Two final prompts ask the young person to name one strength they want to keep using and growing, and one new thing they want to try or improve. These questions make the worksheet useful in one-to-one sessions, school wellbeing work, mentoring, family support, foster care, youth work, or at home after a challenging week or positive milestone.
The page ends with affirming statements such as “I celebrate my progress and believe in myself” and “I am capable, strong and growing every day,” reinforcing a strengths-based approach. Authorship is credited to Edita Stiborova.
