Workshop for Children over July / August 2016:
Developing Resilience in Children and Young People
Four lots of two hour workshops for children / teenagers that are about to go to secondary / senior school and need their confidence and self-esteem to be supported. Or any children who would benefit from developing their self-concept and thereby learn the essential skills to deal with difficult situations and thereby reduce anxiety. Running throughout July and August 2016. The sessions can be held on a one to one basis or for up to 3 children in a group so friends or siblings can work together.
The aims of the programme are to:
¨ Equip children and teenagers with problem solving strategies and self-confidence making it easier for them to face challenges and tasks in all aspects of their lives.
¨ Teach children how to regulate their emotions using powerful strategies and thereby decrease and then normalise the state of anxiety.
¨ Help teenagers learn to resist peer pressure and become their own positive person which is crucial for their development at this unpredictable time in their lives.
¨ To build teenagers’ confidence, self-concept and positive communication skills using eye contact, brave body language and speaking voice.
Feedback from previous coaching workshops:
“I was so scared of starting secondary school and making new friends, I did not know how I would cope. Attending your workshops has made me feel so much better because I have some tools to help me if I need them. I feel excited about changing schools now and I know that I will be able to make new friends.”
Carl, age 11
“I did not believe in myself or understand that I had strengths that I could use to help me enjoy school life more. Attending the workshops has helped me to pick up the phone, join a new club and make new friends. I even stood up for my friend when someone was picking on him and that really surprised me.”
