Life Skills for Kids parent-child workshop

Concerned about all the new challenges your kids are facing today — from social media to testing? Are you looking for an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with your child learning and growing together? If so, please join me for my next parent-child Life Skills for Kids workshop where participants learn a consistent language of 12 essential life tools in a way that is child friendly, fun and positive. I created “The 12 Cs” – a parenting checklist to prepare my children with the skills to thrive in today’s world. The list worked so well that I launched Character U, wrote a book, The Adventures of Ooga and Zeeta, and now offer workshops for parents, educators and children based around “The 12 Cs.” The approach is a well-rounded life skills training program providing a platform to discuss children’s obstacles and anxieties and fill their “toolbox” with the life skills to handle pressures, as well as teach and improve positive behavior improving conditions for academic performance. Several recent studies reinforce the importance of life skills education and social and emotional learning at a young age for short- and long-term success academically, behaviorally and socially. Character U is built to fulfill this need…in the home and in group settings. Topics include: Positive self-talk · Adapting & Coping · Self-Esteem · Resilience · Empathy · Conflict Resolution · Gratitude · Tolerance · Bullying/Bystander · Peer Pressure My goal is to fill both boys’ and girls’ life skills “toolbox” full of ways to lead productive and fulfilled lives for themselves and their community. The Adventures of Ooga and Zeeta can be found online at Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
