Confidence & Courage for Preteens Developing Self-Confident & Happy Teens (Ages 8-12)

We can all recognize that adolescence can be very challenging in today's world. Preteens and teens are constantly thinking about what they are good at and what they are not. They can start to feel powerless and believe that they cannot change how good or bad they are at something. However, when we give them the tools, they can help transform this limited thinking and put their dreams into action. They can increase their self-confidence and feel the power they hold inside themselves to create a new reality and life they imagine.

Each session, we connect as a group and create a mindset around a self-affirming topic. Participants will honor their unique selves, transform negative self-talk to positive self-talk, create positive affirmations for the future they desire, and use visualization to develop and deepen neural pathways to set their desires in motion.

Goals of the program:

• • • The participant will identify three unique aspects about themselves that they love
    • The participant will transform a negative self-talk statement into a positive self-talk statement
    • The participant will create three positive affirmations for a future they desire
    • The participant will understand how to visualize a positive affirmation as if it is occurring right now to create a new neural pathway.

This class will also discuss the following topics of importance in self-esteem:

• • • Watching your self-talk
    • Focus on your strengths
    • You are special
    • Don't compare yourself to others
    • Realize why people try to tear you down
    • Why you must help others
