R.I.S.E workshop: 7 - 16 year olds

Learning Resilience, Inner-confidence, Self-worth & Emotional intelligence

Empowering kids to believe in themselves, face challenges with confidence and live emotionally happy lives through a kid-friendly, science-based curriculum.

 

We teach students confidence and resilience skills in this fun weekend workshop for kids aged 7 - 16 years.

R.I.S.E stands for Resilience, Inner-Confidence, Self-Esteem and Emotional Intelligence, which are the foundations of what will be taught in this course.

Our 3 hour R.I.S.E workshop includes workbooking, role playing, crafts and short videos. We teach using the latest research in positive psychology, brain science and youth development techniques created by Big Life Journal.  As a licenced Big Life Journal educator, emki will help develop strong social-emotional learning and growth mindset skills in a way that’s heaps of fun.

Topics covered in the R.I.S.E workshop

  • Resilience

    We will help kids learn how to develop resilience and perseverance.

    With fun and engaging activities, students will learn how to:

    cope in spite of setbacks

    welcome mistakes as opportunities to grow

    overcome obstacles

    Children will also discover that resilience can be learned like any other skill. It just takes practice and patience.

  • Confidence & Self-Esteem

    We will help kids to develop high self-esteem and confidence.

    With our teaching methods and materials, kids will learn how to overcome their negative self-talk and start believing in themselves and their abilities.

    We teach:

    goal-setting

    problem-solving

    mindfulness

  • Growth Mindset

    We will help kids learn how to develop a growth mindset, and overcome a fixed mindset. We will also teach them how to:

    turn their self-deprecating thoughts into positive and empowering ones

    learn from their mistakes

    focus on solutions rather than problems

    practice gratitude

  • Emotional Intellgence

    We teach kids how to process their emotions in a constructive way so they can become more attentive, empathetic, and resilient.

    Higher levels of emotional intelligence help people to:

    make good decisions

    grow into a leader

    boost self-motivation

    manage stress and anxiety

  • Resilience

    Resiliency does not come from avoiding hard things, rather, from learning how to cope and moving through hard times.

    Our lessons help children to work on one of life's greatest skills and build the confidence they need to overcome even the most challenging days.

  • Self-esteem

    People with high self-esteem like themselves and believe that they are capable and worthy. As a result, they make better choices, become more resilient, and push harder to reach their goals. They’re more likely to be happy, successful, and emotionally healthy.

    Our lessons help children to see their worth.

  • Growth Mindset

    Beliefs about our abilities form our mindset — and they impact everything from relationships to academic success. Developing the right kind of mindset means the difference between hiding from life’s challenges and handling them with confidence. Studies show the mindset associated with a full, happy life is called a growth mindset.

    Our lessons help children learn how to develop a growth mindset and be aware of fixed mindsets.

The Journal creates a safe space for your child to help them develop the mindset that leads to success and happiness while focusing on loving, encouraging thoughts that lead to a happy, fulfilled life.

2.Workbooks on each topic that is covered: these include posters, crafts, games and worksheets.
