RISING 6th GRADERS

This live, online workshop introduces rising sixth graders (entering middle schoolers) to their grit and supplies tools to feed their resilience and optimism. 

All our workshops are safe spaces where students are encouraged to express themselves and open up to peers and develop their peer-support networks. In the "new normal," it is even more critical that new middle schoolers develop strong support networks to increase resilience and optimism. Parents are encouraged to work with their students by accessing and demonstrating their resilience with simple home exercises.

​

​In addition to increased awareness and exercise of their resilience, students engage in proven activities that have many other applications in the teen world. For instance, several of the activities strengthen core strengths like confident self-expression in writing and speech. Our exercises improve strengths that will immensely benefit your child when they enter the middle school environment. The ability to identify personal challenges and write about them sets your child up to thrive in a new environment where they are expected to start expressing themselves and their thoughts and ideas as part of their learning. The skills they master in this workshop will ease the transition to middle school.
