PostHeaderIcon Free Teleclass: “Back-to-School Self-Esteem”

Folders, pencils, notebooks – check. New backpack – check. Outfits both mom and daughter can agree on – check.  Haircut to trim the chlorine-damaged ends – check. Strong sense of self and healthy self-esteem – ummm, well, maybe not!

It’s getting to be that time of year again when we give up some play time to scramble to get ready for back-to-school. With all the busy preparations, don’t forget the most important one you can do for your child is to begin a new school year with a strong sence of self and healthy self-esteem. With a child being bullied every 7 minutes today in our schools, this proactive element could never be more essential!

To help you empower your daughter and build her self-esteem, I invite you to join me on a free teleclass I’ve been asked to give by the Global TeleClass Network.  I’m honored to be featured along side such inspirational legends as Mark Victor Hansen, T. Harv Eker, Bob Proctor and many others. Below is a description of my class on August 25 – be sure to sign up early as space is limited! And also check out all the other classes offered – all free for you to enjoy from the comfort of your home.

Stay posted as Heartlight Girls brings you more for back-to-school to be “empowered from the inside out!”

Building Your Child’s Self-Esteem for Back-to-School

Led By: Debra Gano

Teleclass Description:

More than ever, our children today are faced with numerous challenges – many they’re not emotionally equipped to handle. Negative role models, unhealthy media, and extreme peer pressure bombard our kids daily, causing them to question their worth and abandon their authentic self. In desperate attempts to feel better and seek approval, they often make unwise, and sometimes life-threatening, choices.

Our responsibility as parents is to strengthen the core of our children’s self-esteem, building a foundation within to empower our kids ‘from the inside out.’ In this class, you’ll discover ways to build lasting self-worth in your child – and in yourself as well, for you are your child’s most important role model!

In this powerful TeleClass, we will:

-Discuss challenges kids face today and how you can help them navigate these challenges
-Demonstrate how self-esteem begins to decline as early as preschool years
-Teach how to prevent this decline in self-esteem or repair the damage that’s already occurred
-Share ways to build your child’s self-esteem ‘from the inside out’ so it makes a lasting difference
-Discover powerful tools kids understand and will use daily in their lives
-Learn vocabulary and exercises you can share together to build confidence and show kindness towards others
-Explore your own self-defeating issues and how you can be a healthy role model for your child

Whether your child suffers from low self-esteem or is the potential future victim of another insecure child, it’s important your child begins this new school year as empowered as possible!

PostHeaderIcon Mean Girls: The Increase of School Bullying

Did you know that approximately 90% of kids will experience some form of bullying this school year? Ouch! What’s happening??? When did it suddenly become “cool” to be mean? While “Mean Girls” may think they’re cool, we here at Heartlight Girls are here to remind you that they are NOT cool…and NOT beautiful! Girls who bully are really suffering from low self-esteem, and use bullying tactics to cover it up. It’s important to remember this if you are the victim of bullying (or your daughter is). Remind yourself that the mean comments and manipulative games have nothing to do with YOU, it‘s about THEM and their insecurities. Bullying is the sign of a dim Heartlight, and when someone’s Heartlight is dim, they will try really hard to dim your light too (or steal some of your beautiful bright light!) So protect yourself, Heartlight Girls, from the “dimmers” and keep your Heartlight bright! Be sure to do your Heartlight Meditation every day (it’s at the back of Beauty’s Secret).

Because the bullying I see happening with our girls in schools is so similar to what I experienced with some of the caddy girls in the modeling industry, I have a huge compassion and desire to help stop this hurtful trend. I’ll be offering tips and advice on how to handle this on my blog and in future newsletters, so stay tuned! Be sure to mention to your school faculty that I do a powerful Anti-Bullying/Self-Esteem Program that I can bring to YOUR school too!
 
Remember, being KIND is the NEW COOL! Don’t you agree?
