SoulKids® is continuing to expand throughout Asia

Adimas (Danny) S. Soeryadjaya is a certified SoulKids^® Mentor. He is passionate about working with children and is taking the SoulKids programs to Indonesia!

Here Danny tells us why he loves being a SoulKids^® Mentor and how his Mentor training has had such an impact on his own life that he is very keen to share his new knowledge and wisdom with others.

Why am I taking SoulKids^® to Indonesia? 

The answer is simple: I love kids! I’ve always loved kids! I just didn’t know how to handle them or communicate with them effectively until I became a SoulKids^® Mentor. It used to frustrate me or I became impatient when I was around my little sister and nieces because I simply didn’t understand them at their level. Now since becoming a SoulKids^® Mentor, I have more patience and it’s so much fun with them, and in fact, with any kids I meet. My step-mom has asked my brother and sister (who both have kids of their own), “The kids all run to Danny. Why do all the kids love him so much?”  

I have 1 significantly younger sister (who’s 21 years younger than I am and tells everyone I’m her favorite brother out of the 3), 2 nieces (both, 3 years young) and now, a very recent addition to the family, a nephew. So again, why did I take SoulKids^® to Indonesia? My answer is, if you love kids, WHY NOT?

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.
