Positive Families

          

Confident Kids and Teens is a resiliency group program for kids and teens aged 5-15 years to boost confidence, resilience and self-esteem. The focus is on ellbeing, emotional fitness and helping kids understand the way their minds work so that they can develop optimistic thinking skills.

The aim of the program is to help kids and teens learn essential life skills to reduce worries, fears, anxiety, stress, deal with friendship issues and boost their confidence, self-esteem and resilience so that they can reach their full potential.
   
      

Research shows that learning positive coping skills early in life sets young people up to be healthier and better able to cope as adults. So for example, children who experience such difficulties as anxiety are more likely to become anxious adults without intervention. Providing your child with the opportunity to learn helpful strategies is a great gift for their future.

-  How thoughts and feelings affect behaviour
-  Optimistic thinking skills
-  Strategies to manage anxiety, worry, fear
-  Dealing with bullying and peer pressure
-  Friendhship issues
-  MIndful breathing and relaxation skills

What makes the Confident Kids program unique? 

1. Informed by the latest scientific research.
The program is theoretically derived and incorporates the latest scientific research in the fields of Mindfulness training, social and emotional learning (SEL), positive psychology and Cognitive-behavioural therapy. 

2. Designed to appeal to today's kids and teens.
We don't ask kids and teens to fill in workbooks that remind them of school. We know from experience that today's kids and teens learn best from a variety of engaging mediums such as film, music, song, role play and visual presentations. We focus on inter-active sessions that use a combination of games, reading, craft, relaxation techniques and Life coaching.

3. We support the whole family.  
We are committed to supporting your whole family. Our team are passionate, motivated and genuinely care about making a difference in every child's family life. We provide ongoing email support throughout the program, access to additional resources and opportunities for you to reach your potential as a parent.

4. We deliver results.
Parents and kids alike tell us repeatedly that the program has changed their family life in many positive ways and that their child's confidence and self-esteem has improved. Our growth is largely due to parents recommending the program to friends and parents in the community and the fact that we consistently deliver results through excellence in program delivery.
