A Program Promoting Health, Safety, and Self-Esteem
By introducing young children to topics concerning their health and well-being, they discover how daily decisions affect their health and well-being, and becoming better prepared to make positive, healthy choices as they grow. I Am Amazing: A Program Promoting Health, Safety, and Self-Esteem is a health and safety curriculum that comes in a kit filled with an activity manual with nearly 400 activities, 28 sets of colorfully illustrated learning materials, 10 posters, 10 reproducible parent letters, a split-page body book, songs on cassette, and more. I Am Amazing is flexible and with hundreds of activities to choose from and it can be used as a nine or 10 week program or spread throughout the year.
