I Love Me Because…

Worksheet Description

The “Self Love” worksheet is a simple yet profound activity designed to encourage children to reflect on the reasons why they value and appreciate themselves. The worksheet is centered around the theme of self-love, as indicated by the word “Self” printed in a heart-patterned font at the top of the page. Below this, there are multiple lined prompts starting with “I love myself because,” which invite the students to list various reasons they feel affection and appreciation towards themselves.

This exercise serves to bolster self-esteem by asking students to focus on their positive traits and to acknowledge their own worth repeatedly. The repetition of the phrase “I love myself because” is intentional, serving as an affirmation to reinforce self-acceptance and positive self-regard with each new line completed. This worksheet can be used as a regular practice to help children develop a habit of recognizing and celebrating their strengths, achievements, and unique qualities, all of which contribute to a healthy and loving relationship with oneself. It’s an excellent resource for use in both educational and therapeutic settings, where the cultivation of self-love is essential for personal development and well-being.
