‘OH CHRISTMAS TREE, OH CHRISTMAS TREE……

This popular Christmas carol celebrates the Christmas tree, which is a central part of the Christmas celebrations. The words of the carol state how much joy the tree brings to the celebrations, but there is much more that we can all learn from trees such as these. 

During a SoulKids® program the children hear stories that focus on nature and the valuable lessons that it can teach us. For instance, they learn that the tree is a great teacher.

Children learn that trees grow tall by having strong roots. This teaches the children that it they want to become successful they need to have a strong foundation of positive thoughts and actions.

A tree can also teach us about patience. A tree does not grow tall and strong overnight. It takes time to reach its true potential. The mighty oak tree comes from a small acorn, just like babies and children grow into adults. It all takes time and we need to be patient and do our best every day so that we can achieve our goals in life.


When a tree grows big and strong, it offers shade to many others. When, as adults, we grow to be successful, we should remember the lessons of the tree and inspire and share our success with others.


MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM SOULKIDS®!

SoulKids® says "BE THE BEST 'YOU' THAT YOU CAN BE"!

Children love the game “Simon Says”, where they are told to do something that Simon Says they should do! Children who attend a SoulKids® program are told to be the best that they can possibly be. This is a message that is reinforced throughout the course of a weekend through stories and games and other fun activities which the children enjoy.

One of the children’s favourite stories in the SoulKids® Self-Confidence program is the story of the Sunflower and the Rose. The Sunflower wants to be just like the rose and is very unhappy because it is a sunflower.

Over the course of the story the children learn that the path to happiness and success is to accept yourself as you are and appreciate all your own special and unique abilities – after all they are what make ‘YOU’ you!

This is a valuable life lesson for all of us – know who you are and be the best “you” that you can be!
