Some Discussion Topics
Celebrating Me can be used by teachers, guidance counsellors or other adults who engage with youngsters on a regular basis. You may want to have girls (and boys) read the book and then engage them in a general discussion – perhaps have the girls and boys separately initially, depending on their maturity and comfort level. Here are some questions to inlcude in your discussion – these certainly are not ehaustive, so I encourage you to add your own in the comments section below – we can certainly all learn from each other! I would, however, ask you to qualify your comments and suggestions by stating the age of the younggsters, and any cultural or environmental circumstances. Reading levels and overall literacy may also be important for some.
