25.01.2022 Do you feel proud of yourself? Do you acknowledge yourself; your achievements, the effort you put in? The best thing we can do for ourselves is give us what we need; say to ourselves what we've always wanted to hear.... Try it today- put your hands on your heart and say "I'm proud of you." And if that's too difficult, try "I'm proud of the way you.... " because there's always something- no matter how small- we can find to be proud of ourselves for.

25.01.2022 SOLD OUT! I'm very excited to be presenting 'Mean Girls' next weekend: Sunday 15th November to a full workshop of Year 5 & 6 girls! These girls are going to be empowered with tips and strategies to deal with not only girls being mean to them, but reflect on when we ourselves can be mean.... What a great way to spend a Sunday

24.01.2022 Is your daughter on the receiving end of 'mean girl behaviour'? Maybe she herself sometimes shows these behaviours. It's time for her to receive some new skills and talk about it in a kind space, respectful of everyone....

Self-care tips for positive mental health. This will be our last workshop for 2020. Tickets $39 at https://www.trybooking.com/BLUUB

20.01.2022 Calling all family members and educators of children aged between 10 - 16 years! Could you please help a sister out? The survey is 5 questions and takes 1 minute to complete.

I thank you in advance for your time and honest answers. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LDFM3LL

18.01.2022 This is empowering! This is what I want to do with teens and tweens! Subconscious beliefs drive our actions. If we become aware of them, we can take more control over our life, living with purpose rather than on ‘auto pilot’

17.01.2022 Love this Thank you Claire Eaton - Author, Speaker, Youth Coach

15.01.2022 Check out the below video for information on our last workshop for the year ‘Mean Girls’! It’s not a perfect video, it’s only my second one ever and rather than getting it perfect it’s definitely ‘good enough’. Sometimes chasing that elusive PERFECTION isn’t worth the mental drain! Check out my dog, Ruby’s, quick appearance.... If you’d like to book in your daughter or young woman you know, head to the events section of the Facebook page. Contact me if you have any questions or queries.

09.01.2022 I’m back!! I’ve been lying low from social media for the past 3 months (last school term) while I put my health as a priority. I went to the GP with a health concern and ended up doing blood tests for that.. came back I was iron deficient... normal levels are 30-100 and I was 10!... This made a lot of sense to me as to why I was in ‘survival mode’... I felt like I was trudging through life, no joy, so tired, everything was hard. This was a great lesson in ‘kindness to me’ because I had even more to learn about the human body (the mechanics of it)- what do to get the right fuel to function at my best. It’s still a work in progress but now that my ‘cup’ is full I have energy to give! Stay tuned for some wisdom I’ve learned over the past 10 years as an educator at WA schools and the past 7 years of self development... Website is still coming soon but closer than ever before, with help of a pair of amazing ladies- Donna at SoftCopy and Rowena at The Write Words Communications Photo is me in my favourite house shirt.. ‘Show me the world’ from when I saw Aladdin the musical live! #thekindnessteacherhq #kindnesstoself

07.01.2022 BOUNDARIES. The closest thing I learnt in regards to boundaries at school in the 80s and 90s was how far on the oval I was allowed to play with my friends. And even nowadays we don't talk about boundaries much. I searched stock photos for 'boundaries with others' and this photo was the best I could get.... What we need to be teaching our young people is boundaries in regards to other people. And I don't just mean "don't talk to strangers". I mean; as an adult, I've had to learn that saying 'no' to someone is OK, cancelling plans when what you really need is to stay home, negotiate a place to meet/dinner/lunch that suits both people rather than just one of you, etc. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I've done my fair share of over accommodating. I think, for me, it came down to wanting people to like me so I said yes and went along with the crowd. What I'm learning now as an adult, when I say 'no', people still like me! They actually like me for me, not because I 'go with the flow' in their company and let them make all the decisions. My friends respect my decision and tell me they appreciate my honesty when I 'just need to stay home and have a cry for no reason at all'. People will sometimes ask things of you again and again with the belief that if you can't or won't be able to do something for them- you'll let them know. I've learnt I don't serve anyone when I just keep saying yes to them and then get resentful about the person asking. It's so much easier to have clear communication. I'd love to see us teaching this to our younger generation. I have seen it in some classrooms and school programs- definitely saying 'no' assertively is a protective behaviour children are being taught. I'm not currently planning to do a workshop solely on boundaries; however it is a theme that is weaved in the workshops. If you have a child, maybe ask them what 'boundaries' means to them? Are there times they're being over accommodating in friendships? Having boundaries is only one of the many ways to Be Kind to YOU. Just do it. Because Kindness is Cool.

02.01.2022 Find tickets at: https://www.trybooking.com/BKPRE Year 5 Girls Workshop- Kindness to Me: East Victoria Park: School can sometimes be a tricky place for Year 5 girls to navigate through. Friendship dramas, anxious feelings about schoolwork or where they fit in the world can affect children socially, emotionally and even physically.... The Kindness Teacher workshops for kids inspire children to be their best self. In these workshops children learn to first be kind to themselves and then explore their relationships with others. Workshops help children to build a healthy self-esteem so they can hold their head up high, even when it's difficult. Children learn that they can be their own 'Kindness Teacher'. Connection. Children connect with themselves and each other. Education. We learn new strategies and we learn from each other. Celebration. We celebrate who we are and we celebrate each other. Group numbers are kept relatively small, with a maximum of 12 children to one facilitator. This ensures a safe and relaxing environment where they can get to know one another in a short amount of time. Children can connect with and get to know the facilitator- Kate. 3 x weekly sessions means children learn new skills and strategies; they go out in to the world and test their knowledge, and then return to the workshop the following week to discuss how they went and learn some more. One $130 ticket is for three sessions; Saturday 8th August, Saturday 15th August, and Saturday 22nd August only; 12:30 - 3:00 PM. *TERM 3 PROMO- bring a friend for free* Each session is made up of the perfect balance of fun, movement, mindfulness, learning and self-reflection. The Kindness Teacher facilitator, Kate, has worked as an educator in public education for over 10 years, and has been on the personal growth and development path for 7 years. She has facilitated women's circles and brings this energy and sacredness to children. Kate works with children every day and sees just how important it is to give them the strategies and self-esteem boost they need for them to be their best self.
