Are you feeding your POSITIVE Dog?

Has your child asked you this question?

If so, then the chances are they have attended one of the SoulKids^® Self-Confidence programs or know a friend who has attended.

During the SoulKids^® programs, the children are introduced to different stories and activities that help them to learn confidence and self-belief. Children who have attended SoulKids^® emerge as more confident, focused and happier individuals.

One of the most popular and most powerful stories they learn, is the 2 Dogs Story. It reinforces the message that there is negative and positive in all of our lives, but we can choose to be positive in life. Children learn from their parents' actions and behaviours. So before you say "No", stop and think about the message that you are sending to your own child.

Next time your child asks you if you are feeding your positive dog, what will your answer be?

Our next SoulKids^® Self-Confidence programs are being held in:

Indonesia: 9 / 10 Nov at The Garden Hotel, Kemang, South Jakarta

Singapore: 30 Nov / 1 Dec at SoulCentre, One-North Gateway

Ruth's journey to becoming an "Awesome" SoulKids® Mentor

Ruth recently successfully completed the six months SoulKids^® Mentor Training and she talked to us about her inspirational journey and what she has learnt along the way... ...

Tell me about yourself.
Like many of us, I am a working mum and juggling parenting and work can be a challenge. I know I'll make mistakes, however I want to ensure that I make as few of them as possible. So when I read about SoulKids^® Mentor, I jumped at the chance.

What do you like about SoulKids^®  Mentor Training?
These are life lessons for all of us, whether we are children or adults, the lessons are the same. Telling these lessons through stories taps into how we learn best... through story telling. Just sit through a few presentations at work and you will see how much you remember from the story versus the fact based style of presentations.

How has the training influenced you?
It has given me more confidence in my ability as a parent. And importantly, seeing the transformation of the children during the SoulKids^® programs has opened my eyes to what can be achieves through the sharing and interacting of these great lessons by Vikas.

What has been the most inspiring lesson for you?
The SoulKids^® Mentor Training is about ourselves first. We have to live these lessons before we can influence others. As Ghandi once said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world". This is the lesson that Vikas so clearly brings out in the SoulKids^® Mentor Training Program.

How do you think the children will benefit from SoulKids^® ?
Gosh, there are so many benefits. Here are some as an example:
"You are enough" is a lesson that comes through very strongly in the program.
The children begin to know and understand what makes them special and unique, to celebrate that uniqueness and know how to then use it in everyday life.
The SoulKids^® program teaches the children to be resilient and see resilience as a strength that will support them when things are not going so well.
As soon as my daughter is old enough, I too will be signing her up for a SoulKids^® program.

SoulKids® Creative Mindset, 28/29 September 2013

The founders of SoulKids^®, Vikas and Sally, and their team of 8 Mentors welcomed 46 children to the British Club for an amazing, fun filled weekend with lots of learning and life lessons.

Children from 5 - 14, boys and girls from all different backgrounds came together with one purpose - "To develop a creative, positive, confident and open mind"

The energy (and noise!) levels were high as the children learned how to be creative and original through games, team work, story telling and role play.

Enjoy some of the images from the weekend that show the fun and excitement felt by the children.

Some of the comments from the children are very inspiring:

"SoulKids is a fun way to make friends and learn ways to keep calm and really fun!" Alexander

"It teaches you so much and makes you more confident." Anthea

"I like SoulKids because we learn new things through stories, fun and games." Anusha

"I get to learn in a fun way!" Brandon

"I learned that being yourself is important and you should always believe in yourself and if you do that you will succeed in life." Sarah

"I have learnt to be creative and brave." Frodo

"It teaches you to become more confident." Holly

"It was the best time and I think every child should attend SoulKids." Sashwika

Some of the words that the younger children used to describe SoulKids^®:

FANTASTIC     AWESOME     CONFIDENT     FUN

HAPPY     COOL     EXCITED     STRONG     GREAT

SoulKids® is coming to America

Why SoulKids^®? Why USA?

5 years ago I was hired as a Director of a software company in Singapore. Having recently moved to Singapore, it was a huge life change as a single mom of two young boys. One day my son found a flyer for SoulKids^® in a shop window and I thought it would be great for my sons to attend SoulKids^® - Self-Confidence to introduce them to other children and give my children skills that would help them with the many changes in our lives. I had been recently separated from their father and we had moved from Bahrain in the Middle East to Singapore. All of which was quite a lot of change for us all as American citizens.

What I didn't expect was a complete change in my children.. At the end of the first day when I picked them up, they were smiley, happy and had obviously had a great time. (Sometimes from programs, they  cannot wait to go home!) Then the next morning, I woke up and there were two boys all ready to go an hour early (and that NEVER happens).

However the biggest change was in my son's attitude change. I have one son who is advanced, bright, has more patience with others that were slower and is likely to help others. My other son, who is a challenged learner, suddenly went from not even trying to complete math tests, to being proud of the questions he answered correctly and being more focused on his own accomplishments.

It was so amazing. I had to find out what happened in that two day program. I decided to make the significant investment to become a SoulKids^® Mentor and learn to teach the program myself.

After teaching SoulKids^® for over two years, I have seen miraculous changes on children that help themselves to be the best they can possibly be. I've also had many parents tell me how much SoulKids^® programs have changed their children. I gave up my weekends to teach SoulKids^® and it has been an amazing experience.

I really saw in SoulKids^® an opportunity to make children's lives better by giving them skills that would last a lifetime in: self-belief, facing fears, dealing with negative people, improving communication skills and helping others to live their best possible life. There was no other program that taught these essential life-skills.

And so as I contemplated moving back to the US, I also wanted to make a personal change from working in IT with large corporations. I wanted a life that would share the best of the east with the west and help people live the best life possible. Thus, I am bringing SoulCentre Academy and SoulKids^® Academy to the United States.
