Welcome to the Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social (PIES) wellbeing program!
Now, more than ever, we as parents are concerned with our children's development, not just physically and intellectually but emotionally and socially as well. We all want happier, healthier, brighter and emotionally balanced children. To date there's been a lack of programs that provide the tools to teach our children how to harness and express their own unique talents and abilities and help them to lead a happier and more content life. Holistic Kids has developed an Australian first and only physical, intellectual, emotional and social wellbeing course in one package! What is it?The course is conducted in two separate age groups (3-6 year olds and 6-12 year olds) to maximise the effectiveness of the healing process. The PIES Wellbeing course is a specialised children's self-development course composed of different elements: Yoga is proven to increase health and fitness in children. Through yoga and breathing exercises,children's bodies are strengthened, suppleness is retained,and inner knowing and inner "listening" skills are developed. Nutritional advice combined with the art of colour therapy help to ensure that children are receiving the correct amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals as well as helping combat physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual upsets. In modern times, this advice is crucial as parents are faced with difficult dietary decisions based on what their children can or cannot eat. The wonder of Right Brain Training is then introduced to activate and increase the all-powerful yet seldom used right side of the brain bringing about greater intellectual speed and prowess. This technique is becoming more widespread internationally as its effectiveness with children in particular is increasingly evident.To finish, children are encouraged to recognise and release emotional issues like feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety and hurt while recognising the benefits of more positive emotions such as happiness and excitement. Children are not immune to the difficult situations experienced in life. These often present themselves in the form of loss, friendship issues, bullying and major lifestyle changes. Children then express their emotional hurts through painting, drawing, responding to music, role play/drama and journal writing. Most importantly, techniques are taught to enable the children to calm and centre the mind and to cultivate happier and more loving feelings which will ultimately boost their self-esteem and self-worth! Why are we offering this course?It is widely understood that more needs to be done to help children develop not only emotional and social skills but to develop greater physical and intellectual prowess. A huge amount of strain is placed on parents to provide these developmental opportunities but unfortunately, there are very few resources for parents that demonstrate exactly how to do this - hence, this course has been designed specifically to deliver the following outcomes:
While this course is incredibly fun filled, its main purpose is to educate, inspire, motivate and heal through play.
