We all worry about the ‘what ifs..?’ and might shy away from challenging ourselves. Find out how to learn from mistakes and give hard things a go! You are going to listen to some stories, play some games and learn new things to help you feel your happiest, most confident and AWESOME self! We also do some mindfulness activities to help you learn to identify and respond to your thoughts and feelings. You also receive a top tip for how to embed these skills at home and an additional activity sheet after each session. There is space for 9 children aged 5-7 to join the session, which is led by one of our experienced and inspirational Role Models and 'Billy' the Bunny. Our Role Models are energetic, engaging, and curious educators who are passionate about encouraging you to become the best version of yourself. All of our Role Models are hand-picked and trained by our education team (https://www.rolemodels.me/about-us/meet-our-role-models/). There are 5 sessions in this ongoing class. Please be aware that when you enrol your child on these sessions it may not be the first session in the series as you are able to join at any point. If you are unsure which session you are enrolling your child, please do not hesitate to message us. We also have 5 further sessions that you can join called My Mindset & Making Mistakes Sessions. Session 1: Being Kind to Your Mind: Your mind is like a muscle, you can help it grow strong. Learn ways to be kind to your mind with how you speak to yourself. Find that kind voice you’d use for speaking to your best friend. Session 2: What if I Can’t do it?: What if you can’t do it? Sometimes it seems easier to just not give it a try. Learn how to enjoy the challenge without feeling like you need to ace it straight away. Session 3: Embracing New Challenges: Learn how to respond to fear and nerves when trying something new. With patience and determination, learn to embrace the excitement of new challenges. Session 4: Seeing Mistakes as Opportunities: When you think you’ve made a mistake, learn how to see it as an opportunity to make something beautiful. Session 5: Getting back up After Failure: How do we find the courage to get back up and try again? Even though it feels tough, learn the importance of getting back to the things you love, because life begins when you get back up. We can’t wait to meet you and learn some awesome new skills together :)! Our sessions follow an education framework developed by teachers, education experts and business leaders. This framework, based on the work of the Partnership for 21st century learning, defines the skills and knowledge that children need to thrive at school, at home and beyond. Our course content emphasises the importance of developing life and career skills alongside academic attainment. Our courses have been written by our Character Education Team, who are highly qualified educators, within input from experts on our Advisory Board.
Learning Goals
These sessions are not designed just for children who are perfectionists; we believe everyone should be given the gift of realising they have a choice over how and what they think. Even if your child seems generally positive, the stories and concepts shared throughout the week equip them with the skills to fall back on whenever they find themselves up against a new challenge. Working within a group using the skills of collaborating and communicating is also a great way to boost general self-confidence and self-awareness. The sessions are also an opportunity for children to explore being outside of their comfort zone within a fun and supportive environment.
What are the benefits of these sessions?
- Enhanced future job prospects: World Economic Forum ‘Future of Jobs Report’ (http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2020.pdf) consistently cites life skills as the most critical skills for the workplace.
- Increased academic attainment: Numerous scientific papers identify the correlation between happiness and academic attainment
- Improved mental health, particularly during a global pandemic

Teacher expertise and credentials
Meet Louise Treherne our Director of our Character Education Team:
Louise develops new and exciting ways to help children explore our four key areas of collaboration, resilience, creativity and leadership, in order to be the best version of themselves.
Louise has a degree in Psychology, 12 years experience as a teacher and 5 years as a Senior Deputy Head at a London Prep school. She now works as a Coach and Educational Consultant, which includes working in different educational settings, delivering training and staying up to date with all things Character Education related! Through her coaching, Louise works 1:1 with adults and children to help them move forward with specific goals, explore limiting beliefs and develop their direction and confidence.
Louise has created our content which is taught by our Role Models.
Our Role Models (teachers) are energetic, engaging, and curious educators who are passionate about encouraging your children to become the best version of themselves. All of our Role Models are hand-picked and trained by our education team.
In order to become a Role Model, they must have ample experience working with groups of children. They must also be adept at combining educational rigour with fun, to create active learning environments that children love. We have a number of qualified teachers and actors on our team. However, each Role Model brings something unique to the table. You can find out more about our Role Models here: https://www.rolemodels.me/about-us/meet-our-role-models/.Reviews
