Class Experience

I’m happy to say this is an amazing class for kids and teens who want to learn tips on overcoming the tough times, and for parents who want to set their teens up for success at school and life. 

I strive in creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where students can learn and have fun as well.  
This is a teacher led class.  I welcome questions and comments from students, but only if they are comfortable in doing so.  This class consists of two sessions in one week.

What will be taught:

1st Session :
- Flexibility- helps in adjusting to different ideas and changing situations.
- Positive focus- seeing the good in everything will help you respond better to challenging situations.
- You always have a choice-  a choice in what to do, how to respond, and how to feel.
- Internal Motivation vs External Motivation-  Getting things done !
- Having a purpose- making a difference is a high-level need.

2nd Session : Winners vs Whiners
- Responsibility vs blame.
- Choice vs chance.
- Done vs should have done.
- Commitment vs maybe.
- Manage overwhelm.

** No previous knowledge on topics needed to enroll.
