Education and Children
“We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” ~Stacia Tauscher
As a parent and an educator, I am well aware that this is a scary time to not only be raising children, but also to BE a child. Never have there been as many pervasive threats to our children’s moral compass, self-esteem, and integrity—and that was BEFORE a global pandemic. Children are more anxious, depressed, and unsure than they have ever been! All it takes is one tiny seed of self-doubt to be planted, and the blanket of self-esteem and confidence that most parents so lovingly weave together for their children can begin to fray. Positive messages need constant reinforcement and kids need to be empowered at every turn. This program should be considered a partnership; a complementary strategy to build kids up and help them stay true to their core values.
There is no time for reactivity—these programs are a PROACTIVE approach with a focus on personal responsibility, self-worth, creative outlets, coping mechanisms, safe spaces, and allowing children to be themselves. Studies show that children with high self-esteem and a strong moral compass are much less likely to engage in risky behaviors, cruelty, and self-harm. Period.
As a certified coach in self-esteem elevation, I don’t tell children what to think, I teach them HOW to think. I incorporate guideposts like altruism, confidence, integrity, personal responsibility, and authenticity into my curriculum. We work through anger, insecurities, and hurts. We tackle the tough topics with great love. They learn to trust adults. They learn to trust the process. They learn to trust their peers. And they learn to trust their feelings and their instincts.
How Can You Work With Me?
You can enroll your child in one of my after-school enrichment programs—those programs run annually and largely in accordance with the school calendar.
You can have me create a custom program for your Boy or Girl Scout troops, sign your sports teams up for team-building events, have me run a birthday party, or set up some time for some private, one-on-one coaching. A wide range of opportunities are available and we are only limited by our imaginations.
