SELF EMPOWERMENT

Picture
"Allow the internal brain chemicals
that relax, focus and turn on our attention
for learning to be accessed and released.”

Imagine empowering your child with self-help techniques to
recognize internal feelings, release inner tension, and relax.

Even more, imagine your child learning how to
focus, ground and center energy.

Then see the look of empowerment in gaining a sense of
peace of mind and self-control.

When you know there is something that will help your child,
you know what you need to do.


Whether individually or in a small group,
your child will learn various techniques for
improving awareness of self and others.

"Taking the High Road: A Social Skills"

Reframe thinking for positive outcomes

"Positive social skills are the missing link to
a child's self-esteem, resiliency and future success."
​
Imagine your child being accepted, fitting in, making friends, saying and
doing what is appropriate, feeling confident and advocating positively
for whatever the need may be.

Secure your child's ability for learning and adjustment
both in and out of school and later in life.
Give your child the opportunity for developing acceptable social behavior.

As our children continue to sharpen the skills of reading, writing, and math more parents and educators are seeing that competent social language skills are of equal importance for success in today's world. In fact, these skills may be the "missing link" to a child's self-esteem, resiliency and future success.

With ever-increasing expectations, demands, challenges, and unfortunately, violence in our schools, it is critical that children learn how to communicate and solve problems with one another in a non-violent way. While most would agree as to the importance of communicating, feeling accepted, getting along, fitting in, and advocating positively for oneself,
few of our children receive specific training in these social skills.

These skills include making and keeping friends, communicating effectively, maintaining self-control, predicting social consequences, resisting peer pressure, maintaining self-esteem, and more.

It is hoped that many children will develop these skills naturally as part of "just growing up" through imitation and trial & error. Yet according to statistics, about 25% of regular education students and over 75% of students with learning challenges will require some type of interpersonal skills education for learning and adjustment both in and out of school as well as later in life.

***Now with social distancing and isolating,
our children need exposure to these concepts
​of focus and social adeptness even more.
This can be done online with Pearlan as their guide.

"Taking the High Road" does just that.
Through repetition, habituation, modeling and engaging interactions, children will learn personal strategies that foster efficient and effective verbal and nonverbal communication skills, critical thinking skills, self-awareness, personal responsibility and self-advocacy.
