A practical fun and interactive workshop to increase self esteem in children created after interactive presentations with over 1600 children 

This workshop takes children on a wonderful but fun journey to discover and value all their natural gifts and talents as their power to achieve - to learn to believe in themselves!  One golden rule- only positive stuff!!

Your children will be explorers –
By the end of the Workshop they will have;

• Designed and made up their own magic sunglasses from templates
• Investigated what they like doing  and why 
• Identified  what they are good at
• Discovered what makes them and others  good friends
• Discussed what  qualities are important and why
• Explored  what they like about themselves –including  body, mind and thoughts, etc.,
• Enjoyed their individuality – eg style, nicknames 
• Valued other good stuff about them – being  a loving brother, church goer, football supporter, etc
• Completed their own personal Magic Sunglasses ID card* to keep by them to remind themselves always about  how valuable and great they are!! 
• The ID card is a summary of all the positive  information they have discovered during the workshop and  comes with a 3 point daily plan or “armour” ( like warriors)  to keep feeling good in everyday life. I suggest they keep their card in a little  plastic wallet
