For tweens nearing middle school
2/23/25 @ 6:30-7:15 pm CST
About: How kids feel about themselves is shaped by what kids believe about themselves - both on the conscious level and on the subconscious level. When kids learn how to uncover negative beliefs and then shift them to supportive beliefs, they become empowered to handle the ups and downs of growing up without getting down on themselves. The coaching story, Who’s Flying Your Plane, helps kids understand how their mind shapes their world and what they can do to shape their mind!

This is a series of 8 individual zoom workshops that will teach children foundation mindset skills to better manage the important transition from elementary to middle school.
Today, tweens are managing the changes of adolescence and navigating a great deal of transitions while facing many unique stressors as they approach and enter middle school. We believe having tools to navigate all that is taking place as a tween makes an incredible difference when facing the great challenges and opportunities of today.
CHILDREN LEARN MINDSET SKILLS FOR CHALLENGES SUCH AS:
• Meeting new people and navigating friendships - as kids from different schools converge;
• Managing a larger school environment, multiple classes, and being in the right place at the right time with the right materials;
• Adapting to increased academic expectations such as more challenging coursework and higher levels of independence in learning and managing work;
• Navigating the transition from having one primary teacher to multiple subject teachers which can be confusing for kids as they adjust to different teacher styles and expectations; and
• Exploring new opportunities - like extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports to try out for, all while being the youngest again.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Our Coaching Curriculum is based on the WISDOM STORY coaching for kids' program which is a child-centered, goal oriented and proven coaching system. Workshops are online and held for 45 minutes. Coaching workshops follow the S.T.O.R.Y. process outlined below:
S - At each workshop, we will explore a story! Through the story, children see the impact of a problem that the characters face and how mindset skills are used to resolve this relatable problem.
T - bookTALK time! We discuss questions to explore the story and the skill being taught to help children apply the skills to their own lives. This is where ah-ha moments and transformation happen.
O - Organized Activity which allows children to strengthen their learning with an activity that gives children a visual reminder of the skill that they can take home.
R - Review what they are discovering. Parents receive a take home sheet so that they can continue the conversation at home. This deepens learning between sessions and encourages their actual application of skills to their everyday life.
Y - YES! At the start of each new workshop, we will review the prior skill learned. And then continue the adventure with our next skill book and mindset skill!
