A Positive Start - How to Raise Healthy, Happy Children

Overview of the course

This course will help you teach young children essential life skills, become more self-confident, more aware of others and challenge them to grow.

It will walk you through 10 fundamental life skills essential for empowering children to become more positive and happy. After providing a brief explanation of each skill, you will then be guided through 2-3 practical exercises to introduce to your child to help them understand and adopt the respective life skill.

This is then supplemented with further resources to help reinforce their learning by way of illustrated story-books to illustrate these skills through FUN and a Personal Advancement Manual to put their skills into ACTION.

FUN and ACTION: two of the most powerful ways to learn.

Personal development and sense of greater self-awareness can never come too early in life.

This course will help young children learn essential life skills on a gratifying journey of self-empowerment.

You are going to look at all aspects of a child’s life: at home, school and also their social environment.

This course equips them with tools to develop a positive mindset to become the best they can be and be proud of it; to appreciate their strengths and aware of their weaknesses.

Many of the approaches stem from the practice of martial arts based on moral and ethical guidelines, which I have grouped into the following 10 Life Skills we are going to cover in this course:

1. Courtesy

2. Self-Control

3. Courage

4. Respect

5. Honesty

6. Commitment

7. Gratitude

8. Self-discipline

9. Goal-setting

10. Persistence

Although the study of martial arts does involve physical activities, it primarily follows a concept of non-violence, respect and courtesy for others, loyalty to one’s family, friends and country, and the tolerance of different belief systems and ideologies. All values any parent, educator or carer would want to instil in a child.
