2. Sue Atkins Beat Bullying Children's Workshop
Parenting expert and friend of Pivotal Education, Sue Atkins, is running Beat Bullying Confidence Classes for Children. If you are anywhere near the Surrey area, we thought you may know of children that might benefit from this class.
Next date is: Saturday 3rd December for 8-11 year olds in Godstone, Surrey.
Self confidence, self esteem and happiness are essential qualities that children and young people need in order to become confident well-balanced, self assured adults and they have a right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, violence and bullying.
Bullying is harmful as it can lead to self doubt, lack of confidence, low self esteem, depression, anxiety, self harm, binge drinking and drug taking.
The Beat Bullying - Confidence Classes for Kids is all about helping children feel more confident, more assertive and more relaxed in all areas of their lives knowing that they have some tried and tested strategies, simple practical techniques and a highly effective set of tools empowering them to make some small changes easily and effortlessly that will make a complete difference to their lives.
The Beat Bullying - Confidence Classes for Kids are the quickest and easiest way to discover how to be more confident at school, at home and in life generally. They are designed to help children explore the secrets to being more confident, relaxed and positive able to fulfil their true emotional and academic potential.
Children need a relaxed environment to be able to explore, grow, learn, and play so my classes are designed to be fun, uplifting and motivating and a safe place to explore as well as a place to have fun learning with a small group of other children their own age, how to be more assertive, more relaxed and in total control of their emotions, body language and internal voices.
Working personally and informally with Sue Atkins the UK's leading Parent Coach, former Deputy Head and Author of Raising Happy Children for Dummies, these transformational workshops will help your child recognise their strengths, see their future from a brighter more hopeful perspective and teach them how to handle bullies with complete ease.
