Sharon’s groups teach important life skills for Self-Empowerment to children between the ages of 7-12. In a fun and interactive in person or online group, your child will participate in activities, games, and stories to learn about assertiveness skills, boundaries, bully proofing/friendship “drama”, choosing optimism versus pessimism, self-regulation, and gratitude. This group will run for seven sessions during the school year. The first 45 minutes of the session will be for your child and the last 15 minutes will be for parents to hear a summary of the session and ask questions.

TOPICS:

Assertiveness Skills – Learning to use “I” statements and communicate assertively without being bossy or aggressive
Boundaries – Understanding the importance of setting your own boundaries and not crossing the boundaries of others
Bully Proofing/Friendship “Drama” – Understanding social dynamics
Choosing Optimism Versus Pessimism – Looking for the silver lining and the bright side
Self-Regulation – Recognizing how one’s body escalates and creating strategies for what to do at each stage
Gratitude – Receiving and giving compliments and the “feel good effects” of performing acts of kindness

**Please note that should you decide to withdraw from this group, you will need to notify us by email (info@sharonselby.com) at least one week prior to the start of the group in order to receive a full refund minus transaction fees. Should you decide to withdraw with less than one week’s notice or mid-way through the sessions, we will be unable to issue a refund, unless you have a medical reason supported by a doctor’s letter.**

I could not make a higher recommendation for Sharon Selby’s seven week, online Brain Science and Self Empowerment programs. As a healthcare worker, neuroplasticity nerd and mom this program ticked ALL the boxes. I wish every kid and parent had access to these incredible programs. They have been so supportive and helpful in providing our 8 year old with tools to navigate emotional regulation, anxiety and fear, self compassion and the complexities of social relationships. I LOVED that each class was art based learning. Sharon creates an organized, engaging, supportive and safe space for kids to learn and share what they are learning using their own voice and creative gifts. At first I wondered if a group, Zoom based platform, would work to keep our child involved. I was so pleasantly surprised. It was wonderful to see how the kids in the group supported each other in peer based learning. They would sometimes share difficulties they were experiencing and the advice and support they gave each other was so heartwarming. Sharon guides the group with curiosity, wisdom and genuine care making sure everyone feels seen, heard and involved to the best of their ability. I really learned so much too and appreciated the final 10 minutes of each class where the parents got caught up on what the kids learned in their 50 minutes together. If you are reading this review and are on the fence about signing up, just do it. These courses have been an absolute game changer for our family.

Thank you so much for all you have done for our child and for us. I couldn’t have imagined the extent of impact of this group and your sessions on our lives…This has been an amazing gift. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, warmth and guidance.

My daughter, 7 yrs, has attended Sharon’s anxiety group and benefited greatly from it even after the first session. She was having problems with coping in school and after Sharon’s group she was better able to cope with everyday situations that arose at school and at home – less extreme outbursts with us and her sister. I have also attended Sharon’s parent group and found her sessions informative and practical. Sharon is a warm and friendly coach to assist my daughter in learning to improve her emotional intelligence.

My daughter was having a really hard time going to school. She would complain of stomach aches, headaches, cry and refuse to go into the class. A teacher at our school told me about Sharon. Sharon exceeded my expectations. She is warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about each child in her group. My daughter can now continue her journey in life with skills I wish I had when I was only 7 years old, and I as a parent have a better understanding to help my child deal with the “worry bugs”.
