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.

NATURE HAS MANY LESSONS TO TEACH US, EVEN THE HUMBLE SPIDER!

There are many lessons we can learn from nature such as patience and perseverance, even a spider can teach you something if you are willing to learn.

The SoulKids® Books of Self-Confidence which support the SoulKids® programs are full of stories involving animals, insects and even flowers.

What is it about stories that remain with you? Is it because they tap into your imagination? They are held in your memory for years and the important messages they convey can always be remembered long after the detail has been forgotten.

This is the one of the techniques used in the SoulKids® programs. SoulKids® is a transformational program that develops a positive, balanced, self-assured and confident child. Children from 6 - 15 years old have FUN whilst learning new stories, full of powerful life lessons that stay with the children.

One of the most popular stories with the children, called the Sunflower and the Rose, teaches children that they are special and unique, that they do not need to be like everyone else to shine. They learn to look at themselves and appreciate their own special talents and abilities.

Another story about Woody the Woodpecker teaches the children about focus and dedication, deciding what they want out of life and working hard to achieve it.

And yes, there is an inspirational story about a Spider in the SoulKids® Self-Confidence program! This again teaches the children about patience and focus and perseverance in a fun way.

It has definitely changed my views about spiders... ...
