This specific workshop course Seeing the Incredible you workshop will be five weeks in length for kids 6-12, and will teach them how to have strong self-esteem and self-confidence about themselves. Each lesson will start with a poignant story about that workshop theme, then some puppet role-playing with the kids and ending with a fun craft to express what we learned!
Lesson 1- What is self-esteem?- Kids often don’t understand the concept of self-esteem or why it’s essential. In lesson one, we will read together original, inspiring stories about self-esteem and will follow with discussion and role-playing with puppets. This experience helps kids know that they are in charge of their self-esteem. Each workshop ends with a fun craft to express what we just learned!
• Each session includes a fun Homework assignment to support our session.
Lesson 2 - How Your Mind Shapes Your World!
• Review key lessons from Lesson 1.
• How kids feel about themselves is shaped by what kids believe about themselves both on the conscious level and on the subconscious level. When kids learn how to uncover negative beliefs and then shift them to supportive ones, they become empowered to handle the ups and downs of growing up without getting down on themselves. In this lesson, we will help kids understand how their mind shapes their world and what they can do to develop their brain. Each workshop ends with a fun craft to express what we just learned!
• Fun Homework assignment to support our session.
Lesson 3 – Honoring Your Uniqueness
• Review key lessons from Lesson 2.
• Kids often live in a world of comparisons.
Judgments with a feeling of “less than” or "better than "other kids leads to self-criticism. Self-Doubt as kids sees everyone else as “better than” they are. This comparison destroys self-esteem as kids fail to see their uniqueness, gifts, and talents.In lesson three we help kids understand the danger of comparisons and discover what is great about themselves. Each workshop ends with a fun craft to express what we just learned!

Lesson 4 – Neural Pathways
• Review key lessons from Lesson 3.
• Children’s thoughts about themselves create the way they experience themselves. Every time they think about themselves – either in the positive or in the negative – neural pathways are formed which establish their beliefs about themselves. People can tell kids that they are great, but if they don’t believe it deep down, then it doesn’t matter. I will help kids understand that what they say to themselves is more important than what anyone else says to them. In this lesson, kids learn how to use the power of positive self-talk to create positive beliefs about themselves and to create healthy self-esteem. Each workshop ends with a fun craft to express what we just learned!

Lesson 5 – Power Shifting
• Review key lessons from Lesson 4.
When things don’t go their way, kids often get down on themselves. A powerful skill for kids to learn is how to separate both events and their results from “who they are.” We call this power shifting (often referred to as re-framing). In this lesson, we help kids understand how to handle the ups and downs of growing up without getting down on themselves. Each workshop ends with a fun craft to express what we just learned!
