In this session with L we explored the concept of negative opinions, attitudes and words from other people. The impact that negativity has on children and adults can be immense. However, we can decide if we allow that negativity to stay in our minds. It takes courage, determination and most of all practise to reject it. This canā€™t happen of course without challenges and difficult times.

Itā€™s important that we emphasis to children that challenges help us to grow. This should happen a little while after it has happened.

Ask your child; what has this challenge taught you? What did you learn from it? How can it make you more resilient?

In this session we had fun realising that using all our energy to dwell on other peopleā€™s views and attitudes, helps us to achieve absolutely nothing.

We focused on all the other things she could have been doing and could have achieved by using her energy positively. Negative energy stops us working towards what we should be doing.

I had the absolute pleasure of impacting not 1, not 2, not 3 but 7 young lives this weekend!!

Absolutely incredible to hear feedback from parents about the positive impact Iā€™m having on their childā€™s life.

The impacts can be seen across a multitude of areas of their life: home, school, at clubs and when travelling to new places.

This only comes when parents, teachers and most importantly the child participate together.

The impact this makes will support them through any changes throughout their young lives and into adulthood. Teaching resilience requires dedication and patience but most importantly from a growth mindset.

Client Testimonial ā¬†ļø

The words in this testimonial illustrates the capacity and competency I possess as teacher, mentor and coach to transform lives.

Children DO NOT learn from teachers they donā€™t like. It is my role as a teacher and coach to enable children to see the potential they have in themselves. Believe it or not, it is already there. Itā€™s just deep down below inside the vessel.

Building a strong rapport with children during coaching sessions is crucial for their development and success. By understanding the needs and emotions of the child, I can create a supportive and positive environment that fosters growth and progress.

Taking the time to connect each child on a personal level not only builds trust, but also enhances their motivation and confidence.

Remember, every child is unique and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs, to help them reach their full potential. #

Do you feel you have explored every avenue to help support your child emotionally? Do you need support to help them overcome the issues they face in life?

COACHING THROUGH PLAY!

Iā€™m a firm believer that you are never too old to play. I incorporate lots of fun and play into my sessions with my clients.

I donā€™t only just work with children, in our session with D the whole family got involved. We made our own play dough and used it to recreate the ā€˜NEWā€™ version of D.

Whilst making the play dough we recreated the recipe, to include elements of calmness. We practised simple breathing exercises which he can use when he is feeling frustrated.

In todayā€™s session with M we explored the element of control in friendships. When children are young they experience many highs and lows of friendship. We discussed how she canā€™t control the opinions of others but she can absolutely control whether she is going to accept negative behaviour from her friend.

M has worked consistently throughout our sessions and always gives 100% effort. This is the reason that she has changed her mindset and why her confidence is shining so bright!

We had lots of fun creating a clue hunt. We created clues to the ā€˜negative comment from her friendā€™. She searched for the clues and knocked the negativity away. We discussed the characteristics she wants in her friendships moving forward. We practised the responses she would say by having fun and role-playing with Lego.

We had great fun drawing her character and bringing the pencil for a walk; representing her learning journey. I always encourage my clients to see the positive in every situation. We can learn from every scenario.

M told me that she is now more confident to stand up for herself and she respects herself by not letting peopleā€™s opinions matter to her.

šŸŸ¢CIRCLE OF CONTROLšŸŸ¢

In our programme last week, we explored the concept of control. We discussed that we canā€™t control other peopleā€™s reactions, words or feelings but we CAN control our own.

I teach children from an early age to understand that you absolutely CAN be in control of your own life. We CAN control how we decide to react to events, actions and words from others. We decide our own happiness It can take some effort and work to resignal our brains.

Our brain isnā€™t our enemy, learnt behaviour tries to tell us negative thoughts. We have the power to teach our brains the impact of positive thinking.

Is your child struggling with their anxiety? Do they find it hard to shake off negative thoughts? Perhaps confidence coaching can transform their mindset!

UPDATE!!!

It has been awhile since I have posted apologies! I have been busy settling into my new abode. I love nature, itā€™s calming and does wonders for our mental health. This was the reason we decided to sell up and move to the countryside.

I wanted the rural life for our children, to teach them about the wonder, awe and beauty of nature. This has allowed me time to reflect on my own path in life and what I want from my future.

Over the Easter holidays,I will plan lots of things exciting events and programmes. Iā€™m very excited!

For Oā€™s third session I had a planned focus. However, I quickly adapted the session to focus on a problem that we needed to highlight.

O was invited to a football birthday party and his mum had told me he had refused to go. I decided to use this session to explore Oā€™s feelings in the session.

Using previous strategies in our coaching sessions, I helped O to identify what was worrying him. We identified that it was actually the thought of playing new games at the party and looking silly in front of others, which was stopping him from going. We explored the positives about going to the party:

- He already knew some of his friends going.
- He loved the food that was going to be there.
- He knew some adults who will be attending the party.

Using previous strategies in our coaching sessions, I helped O to identify what was worrying him.

By the end of the session O wrote down three new goals for the week:

1. To accept the invitation.
2. To inform his friend he will attend his party.
3. To try a new food.

Within an HOUR, I have the potential to change a childā€™s mindset. Iā€™m so grateful for the opportunities Iā€™m given to change my clientā€™s lives.

Confidence building for young children through coaching can have a profound impact on their development in various ways.

1. Improved self-esteem: Confidence coaching helps children develop a positive self-image and belief in themselves. This, in turn, boosts their self-esteem and helps them feel more confident in their abilities.

2. Enhance social skills: Through coaching, children learn important social skills such as effective communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. This helps them build strong relationships with their peers and adults, leading to better social interactions.

3. Resilience: Confidence coaching teaches children how to handle challenges and setbacks with resilience. They learn to bounce back from failures, overcome obstacles, and adapt to changing situations with confidence and determination.

4. Goal-setting and motivation: Coaching encourages children to set goals for themselves and work towards achieving them. This helps them stay motivated, focused, and driven to succeed in various areas of their life.

5. Empowerment: Confidence coaching empowers children to take ownership of their actions, make decisions, and advocate for themselves. This sense of empowerment equips them with the skills needed to navigate the complexities of life with confidence.

Overall, confidence building for young children through coaching can have a lasting impact on their development, helping them grow into resilient, self-assured individuals who are capable of achieving their fullest potential.

What a great session today with O ā˜ŗļø

O was so excited to share his goals for the week and how proud he was of his achievements! After our third session, we are seeing incredible results:

- He went to a friendā€™s house on a play date; a place he never was before.
- Spoke to new people at an art camp.
- He felt brave and confident enough to attend a camp without mum.
- Attended an art camp over the half-term and even signed up for TWO sessions over Easter.
- Showed perseverance to overcome his fear of trying football.
- He even placed 3 smiley faces next to how feels about new experiences and camps.

Fantastic progress and itā€™s only the third session! His new confidence and self-esteem has been observed by other parents and mum said she canā€™t believe the difference! šŸ¤©šŸ¤©šŸ¤©

ā€œThanks so much for today Melissa, O really opens up to youā€. ā˜ŗļø

šŸŒæGOAL SETTINGšŸŒæ

In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, instilling resilience in our children is essential for their emotional well-being and future success. One powerful tool to cultivate resilience is goal setting.

WHY?

āœ…It encourages children to set and work towards their goals.

āœ…It equips them with the skills and mindset needed to overcome obstacles and bounce back from setbacks.

āœ…It provides a sense of purpose and direction,helping them focus their energy and efforts towards achieving something meaningful.

āœ…The act of setting goals teaches children the importance of planning, perseverance, and self-discipline.

āœ…Goals allow children to experience the satisfaction of accomplishment and build confidence in their abilities.

Inevitably, challenges and setbacks will arise on the path to achieving goals. However, it is through these obstacles that children learn valuable lessons in resilience. By navigating setbacks, problem-solving, and adapting their strategies, children develop the resilience needed to overcome adversity and thrive in the face of challenges.

As parents and educators, we play a crucial role in supporting and encouraging children in their goal-setting journey. By providing guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to learn from failures, we help children build the resilience and confidence needed to face lifeā€™s challenges with courage and determination.

So, letā€™s empower our children to dream big, set goals, and persevere in the pursuit of their aspirations. Through goal setting, we not only nurture resilience but also inspire a generation of confident, resilient, and empowered individuals ready to conquer the world!

šŸ§ CHILDRENā€™S MENTAL HEALTH WEEKšŸ§ 

I love that a whole week focuses on prioritising childrenā€™s mental health and well-being but what about the other 51 weeks of the year?

Speaking to so many parents and schools, itā€™s reassuring and comforting to hear about how families and educators are placing a real emphasis on supporting childrenā€™s mental health.

At home, we use the zones of regulation jars; a safe place to subtly indicate how we are feeling. It has developed our emotional literacy. Why not have a go at this at home?

Since September 2023, my Reception class were introduced to regular daily affirmation practise. Now they start to recall affirmations that they feel are important and bring value to their lives. We begin our day with a positive affirmation and a guided meditation; releasing negative energy. Mindfulness is practised regularly throughout or day.

The topic for this years mental health week is ā€˜My Voice Mattersā€™. As result of the months of instilling positive affirmations, boosting their self-confidence and modelling how to love YOURSELF first, they ALREADY know their voice matters! ā˜ŗļøā™„ļø

If you are a parent or educator, have a look at your routines and structures and reflect on how you can instil a positive growth mindset within your home or school environment. Carry out an audit to assess what well-being looks like in your environment.

If you feel you would like support to implement well-being, DM to discuss it further.

Sometimes you spend ages procrastinating about what to write, to portray yourself in the most professional manner. Iā€™ve never let myself get away with words.I speak with passion, commitment and loyalty to my work and career. I let my work and action do the talking!

Iā€™m an experienced class teacher and EYFS leader. Iā€™ve grafted, supported, motivated, inspired and coached my staff. Leadership isnā€™t about being the ā€˜bossā€™ itā€™s about leaving a legacy behind. Itā€™s about actually listening, guiding and supporting others not just in their professional development but their emotional and mental development.

When I came into the education system I didnā€™t believe in the hierarchy. Everyone is equal, every staff member in a school has a voice and their life experiences should be appreciated and considered.

This is what made me different. This is what contributed to my success as a leader. This is why I have inspired my team to believe that they are worth more. I have inspired them to believe in their worth and their capabilities.

I started this academic year with a different approach. I put the well-being and mental health of my staff and the children in our classes first. What a difference this has made! 4 and 5 year olds feel empowered to share their perception of themselves and comment on how their confidence has improved.

I feel proud of our team and the feedback from our recent Oftsed and school improvement inspections. The strategies I have implemented were highly commended and are being rolled out across the school.

The acknowledgment of the importance of self-esteem, confidence and mental health in young children and adults has directed me onto a new path in life.

I know my worth and my capabilities.I value my strengths and my experience within education. This is why I have decided to fulfil my passion and empower young children to build the foundations they require to support them with their mental health and well-being.

I work one-to-one with children to provide confidence coaching sessions, available face-to-face or online. I can also work with families to provide family coaching sessions.

Iā€™m looking forward to changing the lives of our young generation and their families.

We discussed things from Mā€™s life that she can control and canā€™t control. This is to enable her to reject the feelings and emotions that comes when people are unkind to her.

Three simple questions to ask yourself as a parent, not to judge but to encourage:

How do I create opportunities for my child to discuss their thoughts?
Do I know how to support my childā€™s mental health?
Do I show love for my child in different ways?

You might answer yes to all three, or even answer no. It is surprising the amount of parents who respond and say ā€˜Oh no, my child is very happy and doesnā€™t get worried or upsetā€™.

If opportunities arenā€™t created to openly discuss feelings of worry, regardless of whether your child expresses it not, how do you know they will feel comfortable and confident to discuss their feelings at a later stage?

Promoting the importance of mental health isnā€™t a new idea. However, with more and more research being conducted evidence suggests that children as young as the early years are suffering with self-esteem and confidence issues, the need for confidence coaching children becomes more apparent.

Have you ever considered the impact that confidence coaching could have on your childā€™s development, achievements, academic life and life skills?

This review speaks for itself!

I absolutely LOVE empowering children to develop their ability, to ignite the confidence within them.šŸŒæā¤ļø

Is your child intimidated by others?
Do they come home and inform you that other children arenā€™t nice to them?
Telling them to play with other children wonā€™t solve the problem.

Do they speak negatively about themselves or their abilities?

Or perhaps they are struggling to identify their feelings, regulate their emotions or control their anxieties?

Send me a message to discuss why having a consultation with me, will be the best INVESTMENT you will make all year.

Iā€™m very excited to announce that I will be hosting a FREE TASTER SESSION at Joe's Coffee Shop and Creative Space on Saturday 20th January from 10am-2pm.

Does your child lack confidence to try activities they have an interest in? Do they lack confidence to stand up to bullying behaviour? Perhaps they continuously speak negatively about themselves?

Join me, grab a coffee and have an informal discussion about how I can support your child.

The impact of confidence coaching is PHENOMENAL.

Donā€™t leave your childā€™s well-being to sort itself out!

Looking forward to seeing you! ā˜ŗļø

What a fantastic start to the year!

Today I lead an inset on promoting confidence in the EYFS, KS1 and KS2, at a school in Hertfordshire.

The inset focused on modelling how to use low-intervention techniques in the classroom; boosting childrenā€™s self-esteem, well-being and their perception of themselves. The techniques and strategies applied, equip children with the ability to take the ā€˜control awayā€™ from our anxieties and replace it with empowerment.

We discussed the importance of modelling emotional regulation strategies as practitioners, as well as the issues young children experience in our modern society.

How are you promoting confidence in your class or school?
