In Native American culture, every child has a totem animal that guides and protects them. Sometimes these are animals have the same strenghts as the child, such as a leopard for a child who can run very fast. Sometimes the totem animals have complementary skills to the child. For example, a very sensitive and gentle child may have a lion as a totem animal. In the second case, this totem animal can support the child in moments of challenge so that it feels safe and dares to face the situation with more courage. In the exercise: “Find your totem animal” children can visualise their qualities by choosing a totem animal that resembles them or imagine an animal that embodies the skills they would like to acquire or strengthen. Or both!
