Developing a Growth Mindset
The Resilience Course is designed to help your child:
learn how to face challenges & handle mistakes
let go of unhelpful, negative thoughts
develop a willingness to try new things & take risks
move away from fear of failure & perfectionism
Developing resilience
Helping your child to develop their resilience is one of the most effective ways to help them thrive at school, home and beyond. By developing a growth mindset, children can learn to push themselves outside of their comfort zone, embrace new experiences, challenges and persevere in areas that might not be their strengths. Understanding that intelligence and ability are not fixed and that mistakes can help us learn, can have a huge impact on the way a child approaches life.
Included with all our courses...
Each day the role model will email you a summary, describing what was covered so you can discuss it with your child. They may also include photos of your child taking part in the activities (if consent has been given).
At the end of the course you'll receive a set of top-tips on how you can support the development of life skills at home.
Your child will receive a branded official certificate to recognise completion of the course.
You'll also receive a written report from the Role Model working with your child, highlighting their strengths and areas for further development.
Finally, after the course has finished you'll receive follow up videos, that you can watch with your child. These aim to remind your child of the key course themes.
How does it work?
Our courses are available for children aged 5-7, 8-10 & 11-13. They typically run for either 3 or 5 consecutive days.
Getting to know your child
All our courses are run in small groups. This ensures our Role Model can get to know each child individually.
To help with this, before the course begins, we ask you to answer a few questions about your child and any specific needs they might have. We will also ask about food allergies, medical conditions and any additional needs that our Role Model needs to know about.
It will only take a minute or two, and it ensures our Role Model has all the information they need to ensure your child has the best experience possible.
