SOULKIDS® - THE POWER OF AFFIRMATIONS! HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A HAPPY NEW YOU!

“I can and I will”! Are these the kind of things that you say to yourself on a daily basis? Or is your inner voice more likely to say “I can’t do this”, “I will never be able to do this/be this/look like this…”

During the SoulKids® Self-Confidence programs children are taught about the power of positive affirmations. When you say something to yourself with belief it becomes an affirmation. Over time what you say and repeat to yourself will become true as you start to believe it.

As we go through life, what we hear from others around us is what we start to believe is true and it becomes real for us. As this may not always be good, it is important that we all consciously and deliberately choose what we want to believe about ourselves.

When we say a positive affirmation about ourselves over and over again we believe that it is true. Slowly and silently these statements begin to change us from the inside out. Our external behaviour, our words and actions start to change because we have changed our mindset first.

At SoulKids® our affirmation for every child is:


The children are encouraged to say this to themselves every day, from first thing in the morning to start their day on a very positive note until last thing at night to encourage positive dreams.

So as the old year goes by and the New Year arrives think about what you wish to be in life and then affirm it to yourself every day. Chose to use positive words and thoughts and see what changes they can bring you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A HAPPY NEW YOU FROM SOULKIDS® !

‘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!
