Does this sound familiar

Are you a parent that often struggles with finding effective teaching methods that cater to your child's overall wellbeing. I am often asked how do we effectively support the emotional, cognitive, social, and physical development of a child simultaneously? It’s hard work. This course addresses this pain point by providing an overarching framework which provides not only theoretical thinking but also loads of practical strategies to create a holistic learning environment.


In today's diverse classrooms and families, understanding how to create an inclusive and culturally sensitive environment can be challenging. Participants seeking guidance on how to accommodate various backgrounds and learning styles to ensure every child wellbeing thrives will love this course.


Keeping children engaged and motivated in the learning process can be a constant challenge. Teachers, leaders, and parents who are looking for ways to design activities that foster wellbeing through self-esteem, problem-solving, empathy, and resilience in an engaging and age-appropriate manner will have their wellbeing and resource cup filled to over flowing.

Do you face these Challenges?

A Lack of Consistent Framework for Wellbeing Assessment.

Teachers, educators, and parents often struggle to assess and identify the diverse wellbeing needs of children in a consistent and comprehensive manner, therefore making it challenging to create a unified assessment framework.

This course provides a structured framework for assessing and understanding children's holistic development. It equips teachers, educators, and parents with tools and strategies to systematically evaluate and address 9 core life skills of wellbeing in the developing child. By offering a clear methodology, it offers a consistent approach to planning, programming, identification and support of a child's wellbeing needs. The course also provides an abundance of resources for immediate application in the workplace or at home. 

A Limited Knowledge and Skillset.

Teachers, educators, and parents may find they lack the knowledge and skills necessary to recognise and address specific wellbeing needs effectively. For instance, they may struggle with teaching strategies for promoting holistic wellbeing in children as the field is vast.

This course offers practical training and guidance on evidence-based teaching strategies tailored to 9 core skills of lifelong wellbeing. Participants will learn how to nurture empathy, cultivate self-regulation, and promote gratitude through hands-on activities and instructional techniques plus much more. This knowledge and skill-building will empower them to address these needs more comprehensively measuring growth and poise in the developing child.

A Communication and Collaboration Gaps

Effective identification and support of children's wellbeing needs often require collaboration among teachers, educators, and parents. However, communication gaps and differing perspectives can hinder this cooperation.

The course will provide a common language and checkpoints among all stakeholders involved in a child's development. It will provide collective strategies for effective communication and programming, fostering a shared understanding of wellbeing goals and approaches. This collaborative aspect of the course will help bridge gaps and ensure a holistic approach to supporting children's wellbeing.
