Your Mind, Your Power Program
Delivered in a four-part interactive workshop format for children 9 years+
Your Mind, Your Power is a fun and interactive program designed to help children understand how their minds and thoughts shape their reality. They will learn how to harness the power of their thinking, focus, and visualization to create success and happiness in their everyday lives, as well as build resilience when life doesn’t go as expected.
Through this program, children develop emotional intelligence by exploring emotions like anxiety and anger. They’ll learn to recognize the early signs of anxiety, understanding their natural reaction to worry, and how to work with anxiety rather than getting stuck in an emotional loop or resisting it. They’ll gain tools and mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, helping them calm their minds and bodies while navigating life’s challenges with greater ease.
As they deepen their understanding of anger—its causes, how it manifests, and the difference between healthy and unhealthy expressions—children will learn to identify the underlying emotions behind their anger, such as hurt, fear, or frustration. They’ll discover how to uncover their true feelings and needs while developing effective communication skills to express anger in a healthy and respectful way, ultimately fostering stronger relationships.
Additionally, children will explore the science and benefits of laughter and creativity and how these can reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance overall well-being. Through engaging in creative exercises that spark their imagination and relaxation, they’ll learn practical tools to incorporate humor into their daily lives for increased joy and happiness. By navigating challenging situations with creativity and laughter, they’ll also build stronger connections with others and develop more meaningful relationships.
