Ask them not to compare notes while they write. Then have each of them look at their paper and add to their list the positive traits they have. Then challenge them to do daily self-talk. Describe it and demonstrate. Examples: Say, “I am a daughter/son of God.” Say this slowly and with emotion. Say, “I am a good listener,” “I am gentle,” “I am attractive,” “I am a good dancer,” etc. Encourage them to look at themselves in the mirror each day and say “I love you.”
