Hard Things Self Esteem Jar
🫙 Hard Things Jar – Evidence Builder for Self Belief
Created with guidance from family and children’s psychotherapist Philippa Riches, the Hard Things Jar is designed to help children and adults build powerful, lasting self-belief by collecting real-life evidence of challenges they’ve already overcome.
Children, adults (or parents together with them) write achievements, brave moments, or “that was hard but I did it” experiences onto golden stars, then attach them to the magnetic jar. Over time, the jar becomes visual proof that they are capable - especially helpful during moments of self-doubt.
Unlike verbal reassurance that can fade quickly, this creates a permanent, growing record of resilience.
💛 Supports:
-
Self belief
-
Resilience building
-
Emotional reflection
-
Growth mindset development
Ideal for children and adults who doubt themselves, avoid new challenges, or struggle to recognise their own progress.

As a self-employed mum, I’ve created a system that keeps home life balanced while setting clear expectations for my lovely customers:
🖌️ Monday – I design all outstanding orders.
🛠️ Tuesday – Everything is prepped, made, and finished.
📦 Wednesday – Orders are packed and dropped off for shipping.
This routine runs like clockwork 99% of the time!
If you place an order on a Thursday, it will be designed the following Monday, made Tuesday, and shipped Wednesday.
You’ll receive a dispatch email once your order’s label has been created, please check your junk folder if you don’t see it.

Why buy from us?
Hi, I’m Kim, a mum, maker, and big believer in the power of mindfulness for both kids and grown-ups. I started Craftly because, like so many parents, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure how best to support my child’s big feelings.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve been designing routine, emotions and learning resources alongside my lovely mum - a Teaching and Emotional Literacy Support Assistant with over 24 years of experience. Together, we listen closely to what families and children actually need, and we create tools that are simple, visual, and made with purpose.
