Creating a positive mindset
Children’s reactions to situations often stem from what they’re thinking. Knowing how your mind can work for you, rather than against you, is a powerful approach to learning and life in general. Perfectionism can set in from a very young age and often stems from a fear of mistakes and judgement of others.
Help your child feel confident
We can also explore the following aspects to help your child feel confident and build a growth mindset:
You can choose what sessions you would like, when you would like them, how many you would like and how many children are involved. If you have any other specific needs, please do get in contact and we will see what we can do! Please contact us on [email protected]
Our Life Skills sessions are for ages 8-11 and 12-13 and teach children how to tackle adversity through serious fun, ambitious content and active learning.
Our Brilliant Me sessions, which are introductory sessions to our Life Skills sessions, are for ages 5-7, use the power of story to help children explore how to see things and think differently about them. What a revelation to find out that we are supposed to find new things hard and that the mistakes we make actually help us learn!
In this customised programme, we can focus on what you want most for your child. To give you a better idea, please find an overview of exemplary session contents below.
Brilliant Me Courses and Sessions: Each day a story is shared with the children based around the power of our mindset. Then, creative activities help them link the learning within the story to their everyday lives. Daily mindfulness activities are included to help the children learn to manage their emotions, as well as a daily ‘mission’ which is a simple task set to challenge them to embed their learning. Brilliant ‘Billy’ the bunny accompanies the children throughout the sessions and is used as a distancing tool; talking about certain situations Billy might think negatively in can sometimes be an easier step than talking directly about our own experiences.
The stories shared can move around the following themes to name a few:
Life Skills Courses and Sessions: The children learn the theory behind each concept in the morning and then take part in fun activities/challenges to really embed what they have learnt. Each of our Life Skills Courses and Sessions has a different focus. See below for an example of some of the themes on Resilience:
We all have our own fears and the customised course or sessions is specifically designed for you to have some serious fun!
The Role Models Life Skills programme includes 8 different topics for children in Years 1-8 (ages 5-7, 8-11 & 12-13). These separate topics can be completed in any order, or on their own.
Our courses follow an education framework developed by teachers, education experts and business leaders. This framework, based on the work of the Partnership for 21st century learning, defines the skills and knowledge that children need to thrive at school, at home and beyond. Our courses have been written by our Character Education team who are highly qualified educators. Our course content emphasises the importance of developing life and career skills alongside academic attainment.
Our customised courses and sessions are fast-paced, high energy and challenging. Your child will be active, engaged and up on their feet (even in online sessions). None of the tasks are easy; in fact, we don’t mind if the children struggle with the exercises at the first attempt. It is through this process that resilience and strength of character can be built, in a positive and supportive environment.
Our courses are built on three elements:
Active learning
Ambitious content
Serious fun
Sally - a London parent
Can I just say that today’s session was absolutely brilliant! You kept my 6 year old son totally engaged and interactive the whole time - he was absolutely engrossed the entire session. He has been a nightmare to ‘home school’ this week but as you ended the session today, he asked for more! Great work!! Thank you!
Tessa - a London parent
This is wonderful, He is thoroughly enjoying the course. He was so positive and happy about the fact that he had started out drawing a zebra but it ended up being a Lion! I loved hearing this as I know he would usually have had a meltdown saying he’s got it all wrong!
Sarah - a London parent
I wanted to thank you for the great session that my 9 year old attended this afternoon. We were having a dreadful day at home school and the session really lifted his spirits (and gave me some time out!). Thanks once again, very much appreciated.
Amanda - a London parent
I just wanted to say another huge thank you for this session. I was so impressed with the way it was structured. You captured their attention immediately and the content was so relevant for my kids with some great take homes which we will hopefully work on embedding into the everyday. Your resources are great. Such a positive 2 sessions for them. Thank you so much. I'm so glad I found your website. I would highly recommend you guys!
Lotte - a London parent
My son has made an excellent start to the new year at school and this is where I have noticed the impact of the course. His confidence is more secure and he is really trying at school and doing very well. The daily emails on the course were welcome, to know what he had done each day was very helpful.
