Youth Empowerment
This page is yet to be finished but we hope to have it available for you soon. If you have a real need for this information and would like further information on available courses or specific help that will beneift you, contact us now.
In the meantime, consider this. A few years ago, a colleague of ours, was running leadership and mentoring programmes in Inner London schools. She asked of one class, to list 10 things they didn't like about themselves. Everyone was finished in less than 5 minutes. She then asked them to write down 10 things they liked about themselves. In 10 minutes, not one child of the 33 could come up with more than 3 things! Children tend to take criticism to heart because they tend to hear more of that than praise. If they are to learn from their mistakes we have to help improve.
Something to think about when reinforcing our childs beliefs in what they are good at and empowering tham to strive for something better.
We will have a lot more for you soon.
