SOULKIDS® SELF-CONFIDENCE PROGRAMS TEACH CHILDREN THE VALUE OF SELF-WORTH


The SoulKids® Self-Confidence program is powerful and transformational and aims to develop a positive, balanced, self-assured and confident child. SoulKids® is highly enjoyable, fun but also very powerful.

One of the recurring themes throughout the program is that of self-worth and self-belief.

The children learn through powerful stories that the words other people use around them and about them, do not lessen their self-worth - unless you let them! This is a powerful message for children to learn in this fast paced, social media age that children now live in.

Cyber-bullying is a term that most, if not all parents are aware of. Therefore teaching children that others’ words are merely their opinions is a very important life lesson.

Through the use of stories children are encouraged not to let others’ negative words affect their positive thoughts, particularly about themselves.

They are taught that their true value is what they think and feel about themselves and not what others say about them. Truly a very important life lesson!

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!

In life we all need to experience struggle to grow - just like the butterfly!

It is easy for us all to be happy on a good day when life is going our way. The challenge is to remain happy during the struggles of life.

The SoulKids® Book of Self-Confidence One tells a story of a small boy watching a beautiful butterfly struggling to emerge from its chrysalis. 

The boy decides to give the butterfly a helping hand out of the chrysalis to help it on its journey. However what the boy doesn’t realize is that the butterfly needs to take time to struggle out of the chrysalis in order for its wings to be dry enough for it to fly. 

The boy learns from his father that the struggles of the butterfly make it stronger and able to fly high.

The story teaches us that just like the butterfly we will all experience struggles in life. What we need to do is see the difficulties that we face as opportunities to grow and develop.

We can’t control unexpected challenges in life, but we can control how we respond to the challenges that we face in life.


So when times get tough, remember the butterfly and the struggles that it faces in order to be able to fly free and high in the sky!
