Packages

INTRODUCTION

All of the programs offered at Invincible Kids are based on a proven mindset development model called the WISDOM system, based on the Adventures in WisdomTM Curricula for Empowering Kids:

This model uses stories and experiences as valuable learning tools to help develop powerful mindset skills for transformation.

Self-Esteem Package

How kids feel about themselves is one of the biggest influences on their happiness and what they create in their lives. Positive self-esteem isn’t something kids either have or don’t have – feeling good about themselves, even when things aren’t going their way, is a skill that they can develop. With this coaching package, we will show them how.

We have a 5-session package that will help kids develop powerful self-esteem: 

First, young children often don’t understand the concept of self-esteem or why it’s important. During the first session, I share the story Yucky Me! Yahoo Me! to help children understand what self-esteem is and that positive self-esteem is a choice!

How kids feel about themselves is shaped by what kids believe about themselves – both on the conscious and subconscious levels.

When kids learn how to uncover negative beliefs and then shift them to supportive beliefs they become empowered to handle the ups and downs of growing up without getting down on themselves.

During the second session, I share the story Who’s Flying Your Plane and help kids understand how their mind shapes their world and what they can do to shape their minds! We also have a fun paper airplane activity that we do to reinforce the learning.

During the third session, we talk about a self-esteem crusher, and that is the danger of comparison.

Kids often live in a world of comparisons – seeing themselves as “better than” or “less than” someone else.

Judgment with a feeling of “less than” leads to self-criticism and self-doubt as kids see everyone else as “better than” they are. This destroys self-esteem as kids fail to see their uniqueness, gifts, and talents. I share the story The Sun, The Wind, and The Rain to help kids understand the danger of comparisons.
We also have a fun activity to help kids discovering and honouring their uniqueness and the uniqueness of others.

After children have uncovered their uniqueness, we work on solidifying a positive self-concept by learning to develop positive self-talk. Positive self-talk helps children build “program” their mind for positive self-esteem by building strong neural pathways. I share the story Choosing Your BFF (Best Friend Forever) to help kids understand how to use the power of positive self-talk and become their own BFF. We also have a fun activity that helps children create their own positive self-talk mantras and decorate a self-talk mirror they can take home with them.

Finally, when things don’t go their way, kids often get down on themselves. A powerful skill for children to learn is how to separate events and their results from “who they are” as a person. We call this “power shifting” (often referred to as reframing). I share the story Power Goggles and help kids understand how to handle the ups and downs of growing up without getting down on themselves. We also have a fun activity where kids get to create their own power goggles to reinforce their learning!

Self-Confidence Package

Whether or not kids believe in themselves will shape who they are and what they create in their lives – do they go for it in life, or do they sit on the side-lines? Powerful self-confidence isn’t something kids either have or don’t have. Believing in themselves, even after they’ve experienced a disappointment, is a skill that they can develop!

I have a 5-session package that will help kids develop powerful self-confidence: 

First, young children often don’t understand the concept of self-confidence or why it’s important. I share the story Canville and Can’tville – a Tale of Two Towns to help children understand what self-confidence is and the impact of an “I can” belief system.

Next, what kids accomplish in life 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 beliefs they become empowered to handle disappointments and setbacks without giving up on themselves. I share the story Who’s Flying Your Plane and help kids understand how their mind shapes their world and what they can do to shape their mind. We also have a fun paper airplane activity that we do to reinforce the learning.

Next, learning how to move through anxiety and fear helps kids learn how to believe in themselves when facing something new. First, I share the story Pathway to Success to help kids understand that anxiety is a natural response to doing something new because their brain hasn’t developed neural pathways about the new experience. Then I share the story Slaying Dragons to help kids learn three common thought patterns that create fear and a five-step process for moving through that fear and creating courage.

After kids have learned how to move through fear, we work on solidifying a positive self-concept by learning to develop positive self-talk. Positive self-talk helps to build strong neural pathways and program the mind for strong self-confidence. I share the story Choosing Your BFF (Best Friend Forever) to help kids understand how to use the power of positive self-talk and become their own BFF. We also have a fun activity that helps children create their own positive self-talk mantras and decorate a self-talk mirror they can take home with them.

Finally, when things don’t go their way, kids often give up on themselves which devastates self-confidence. A powerful skill for kids to learn is how to separate both events and their results from “who they are” as a person. We call this power shifting (often referred to as reframing). I share the story Power Goggles and help kids understand how to handle the ups and downs of growing up without giving up on themselves. We also have a fun activity where kids get to create their own power goggles to reinforce their learning!

Developing Resilience Package

Building resilience means helping kids learn how to handle the tough stuff in life – making mistakes, experiencing disappointments or failures, or facing changes in their lives.

With this coaching package, kids learn how to get back up again after falling so that mistakes, disappointments and failures, or changes don’t keep them from their dreams.

I have a 5-session package that will help kids build resilience: 

What kids accomplish in life is shaped by what kids believe about themselves ─ both on the conscious and subconscious levels. When kids learn how to uncover negative beliefs and then shift them to supportive beliefs they become empowered to handle disappointments without giving up on themselves. I share the story Who’s Flying Your Plane and help kids understand how their mind shapes their world and what they can do to shape their mind. We also have a fun paper airplane activity that we do to reinforce the learning.

Next, we talk about belief systems. Belief systems shape what kids see as possible for their lives. Kids who have faced disappointments or failure often develop an “I’m not good enough” or an “I can’t do it” attitude. Learning how to develop a belief system based on possibilities will help kids bust outside of their comfort zone, create courage, and go for it in life – even if they’ve stumbled in the past. I share the story, Power of Possibility, and help kids learn that they achieve what they believe!

Next, we talk about how to manage mistakes. Kids learn that everyone makes mistakes and that it’s a normal part of life. In this skill book, kids learn that mistakes are opportunities to learn and to grow. In this lesson, I share the story The Weight of Mistakes and kids learn the “Five I’s of managing mistakes”. We also have a fun activity to help kids learn how to learn from the mistake and let it go.

Next, kids learn how to move past disappointments and failure. They learn that failure is an event and not who they are. They learn that failure is only a failure if they allow it to keep them from their goals and dreams. I share the story Afraid to Fail Fred and kids learn how to put failure “in a box” so they can learn from it and move forward in their power. We also have a fun activity where kids get to make their own box for the Put-it-in-a-Box process as a reminder in how to move past disappointments.

Finally, kids learn how to manage change. They learn that change is a critical part of life and that they cannot create who they want to be by staying where they are. Only by accepting and embracing change can they move forward in their power. I share the story Changes in Paradise and kids learn the three steps for managing change.

Inner Compass Package (Peer Pressure)

Peer pressure is one of the toughest challenges kids face while growing up. It is also one of the top reasons why kids get into trouble. Unfortunately, in the age of camera phones and the Internet, the mistakes kids make can haunt them for the rest of their lives.

To stand up to peer pressure, kids must first decide who they are and what they stand for. We help them develop four key values of self-leaders – self-responsibility, integrity, respect, and self-respect.

Next, kids must choose what they want for themselves before they are in a challenging situation, so we teach them how to make good decisions.

And finally, kids must learn how to say “no” to their peers and “yes” to themselves. We give kids the language they can use when in tough situations and we practice, practice, and practice.

I have a 6-session package that will help kids develop a strong inner compass, learn how to make good decisions, and stand up to peer pressure: 

Kids learn that when they take 100% responsibility for their lives, it gives them their ultimate power.

They get to choose who they want to be, what they want to think, how they choose to feel, how they decide to act, and what they want to create – it is their choice. I share the story, Victim Victor Finds His Power and help kids learn to be “the boss of me”. After the story, we give kids many opportunities to practice so they can learn how taking responsibility helps them be more assertive in all areas of their lives.

Next, we talk about the value of integrity. Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one else is looking. When kids live their lives with integrity they learn to trust themselves and others can trust them too. This leads to power self-confidence and self-esteem as they learn that their word matters even if they are the only person who hears it.

I share the story No One Will Know Nelson and help kids learn about the power of integrity! We also discuss challenges to our integrity and how to handle broken integrity. At the end of the session, we do a very powerful activity called “How red is the water” that will anchor the impact of integrity for the rest of their lives.

The next session focuses on the value of respect. In this session, kids learn that every time they are with someone, they leave a “mark” depending on how they treat them. Treating others with respect means following the Golden Rule – to treat others as you would want to be treated. They learn that when they use manners and treat others with kindness, they leave “gold hearts” everywhere. I share the story, Make Your Mark with The Golden Rule.  We then have a fun activity where we make gold hearts for people in their lives.

Kids are also challenged with teaching the power of gold hearts to their family at home. It is a compelling session.

During the next session, kids learn about the second half of the Golden Rule that is rarely discussed, and that’s self-respect. Having self-respect means giving yourself a “gold heart”. It means standing by your values and treating yourself with as much kindness, patience, compassion, and understanding that you would have with your best friend, your favourite teacher, or your favourite relative. Choosing self-respect builds powerful self-esteem. I share the story, My “Mark” on Me, and they practice making gold hearts for themselves.

After we have grounded in self-leaders’ core values – developing that inner compass, we shift into how to make good decisions.
When children are born, their parents make 100% of their decisions for them – from what they eat to what they wear to where they go. By the time they leave home, they need to be able to make good decisions for themselves 100% of the time!
Knowing what they believe about critical issues such as cheating, lying, stealing, using drugs or alcohol, engaging in sexual activity, and cutting class can help kids stand against peer pressure and stay focused on their goals.

This session aims to help children learn how to make good decisions and provides a platform for them to decide about the critical issues listed above before they actually face them. I share the story Charlie Chooses Charlie to help kids understand the importance of choosing what they want for themselves before they are in a peer pressure situation. Then we practised using the “Four C’s of Decision Making” module for choosing what they want for themselves in key areas of their lives.

For kids, knowing what they stand for, choosing what they want for themselves, and learning how to say “no” to peers and “yes” to themselves is critical for standing against negative peer pressure. I share the story, Copy Cat Cathy and discuss the five different types of peer pressure. I also have the kids brainstorm examples for each type of peer pressure, so they can practice recognizing it when they hear it.
We also discuss different “no” statements they can use and have each child choose and practice two or three “no” statements that work for them. Then we practice, practice, practice. Role-playing is a critical part of developing this skill because it helps kids identify challenging situations and lets them practice how to respond to them.

Dream Power Package

How to Make Your Dreams Come True Without the Fairy!

Introduction:
Throughout history, humans have made the once “impossible”, possible – from electricity, to airplane flight, to cell phones, to open heart surgery – impossible dreams have become day-to-day conveniences of the modern world. And it is all the result of dreaming!

Someone thought of an idea, believed in that idea, and took action to make it happen.

Kids learn that no one can make their dreams come true except for them. In this package, kids learn a three-step process for creating a life of their dreams.
They create a vision for their lives, learn how to use goal-setting to take action on their vision, and learn how to use the Law of Attraction tools visualization, affirmations, and gratitude, to “program” their mind for success.

With Dream Power, kids learn how to make their dreams come true without the fairy!

I have a 10 session package that will help kids develop a strong inner compass, learn how to make good decisions, and stand up to peer pressure: 

Belief systems shape what kids see as possible for their lives.
Kids who don’t believe in themselves or don’t think their dreams are possible, will whittle down their dreams to fit their current circumstances. Learning how to develop a belief system based on possibilities will help kids bust outside of their comfort zone, create courage, and go for it in life – even when there is no evidence that they will be successful. I share the story, Power of Possibility, and help kids learn that they achieve what they believe!

Kids often think that certain things must be in place before they can do something. For example, “If I were taller, then I try out for the basketball team.” This “if…then” thinking is called conditional thinking and it destroys dreams. In this lesson, kids learn that conditional thinking steals their power as they become victims of their circumstances and limiting beliefs.

They learn how to break through conditional thinking and go for their dreams. I share the story If-Then Ben (Part 1), and tie in the learning from Lesson 1 about looking for possibilities.

Children learn the importance of setting a vision for their lives, so they don’t drift through life. They learn the importance of dreaming big and not letting circumstances determine what they want in life. I share the story A Tale of Two Voyages and children get to create their vision statement and vision board!

Children learn that making their dreams come true involves much more than a vision board – they must also take action. I share the story I Wanna Donna, and then kids learn how to break their goals into tasks and how to track their progress using both a list method and a calendar method.

Children learn how to handle disappointment if they don’t reach their goal and enjoy their journey and celebrate success along the way. Kids learn that when they plan their goals they plan their success. Kids will have an opportunity to develop goal plans for at least one of their goals in the room and will have a chance to continue their practice at home.

Children are introduced to the power of the Law of Attraction through the story “Turning off the Grungy Channel”. Kids learn about the benefits of positive thinking and positive energy and are introduced to the tools of visualization, affirmations, and gratitude to “train their brain” for success.

In the next session, kids learn all about the power of visualization. Visualization is the process of imagining yourself in the future having already achieved your goal. Scientific research has proven that your mind cannot tell the difference between an experience you imagine and an experience that is real. When you use visualization to practice success in your mind, you develop strong neural pathways to prepare your mind to succeed. Visualization is a very powerful skill for helping kids manage change, move through fear, and pick themselves up after facing a disappointment or failure. I share the story I Hope Holly Helps Herself to help kids learn about the power of visualization.

In the next session, I use the story It Ain’t Happenin’ Harry Learns Affirmations to help kids learn another powerful tool for training their brain for success. Affirmations are very powerful tools for “programming” both your conscious mind and your subconscious mind to achieve your goals and can also be used to “reprogram” negative belief systems. Whereas visualization creates neural pathways and stimulates your RAS using visual input, affirmations do the same thing using audio input. When used together, visualization and affirmations prepare you to create magic in your life. Children have a chance to create their own affirmations and practice, practice, and practice!

In the next session, we help children shift their energy from “wanting” to receiving by learning about gratitude. Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting your mood and creating happiness. It is also a powerful tool for achieving your goals. In the story Gotta Have Gary Learns Gratitude, children learn how to develop an attitude of gratitude and participate in an impactful activity creating a gratitude scale.
