In Friday's resilient kid's spaces sessions, we planted a poppy and calendula plant for the bees in the wildlife garden. Followed by an adventure to the compost pile, where we had wonderful discussions about food waste.
Being in the moment with kids, agendaless, without targets, tick sheets and rewards is resilience in action and a great way to simply engage kids. They own their learning.
Kids teaching kids.
Nature knows.
"Look, Jane we found this for you!"
Apologies to the caterpillar for this blurry shot, which we later spotted in the woods. I didn't do him justice, seems my camera isn't suited to close-ups!
It's great to have you here. Resilient Kids is about facilitating spaces for kids to feel good about themselves. Weaving in my K.I.N.D Canvas and Professor Rama Dasaratha's LIFESmart Learning Toolkit.
Boosting VISION VITALITY AND VOICE not just for kids...!
Perhaps you have a child that thinks a bit differently, sees the fun side of life and would enjoy joining in either virtually or face to face here in Guildford Surrey, UK. Or maybe you'd like to get involved in some way too?

In the meantime, here are my upcoming Resilient Kids, Teens, and Parents sessions listed on Eventbrite.
RESILIENT KIDS SPACES
How do you feel at the end I asked the kids who participated from over the world?
"Happy"
"Energised"
"Calmer"
These virtual drop-in wellbeing gatherings are specifically for children aged 8 to 10 years.
One mum said to her girls "the session is a combination of storytelling and fun ways to feel calm and relaxed!"
"I found the resilient parenting group, incredibly helpful and supportive. As a dad of two daughters, dealing with everything from friendships, to household chores, to getting a goods nights sleep, the ideas and shares in the group, were useful to both me and to my family. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn and share the parenting journey with others" Tom Watson
In this one-hour online interactive session, we will explore what you need as a parent right now and respond with various practical tips to help reduce family stress and boost you and your child's mental health and wellbeing.
Let us come together, connect, share stories, and not feel alone in all we are going through as families during this challenging time.
Private coaching also available, please message here for prices and times.
One-to-one and tailored group sessions also possible,
These teenage virtual classes are intuitive and respond to the number in the group and the dynamic they bring.
Your teenager may feel more comfortable simply turning up and tuning in, whilst others may feel more confident to participate more openly. It will be totally up to them, no pressure.
Weaving in ways to:
overcome fears and anxiety
problem-solve on their own, learn from their mistakes
