A child that knows how to handle failure is a child that’s headed for success.
From time to time all students feel overwhelmed with the challenges they face in daily life. They may have experienced bullying at school, have family issues that are affecting their feelings or behaviour, or they may be sensitive by nature.
The Optimistic Kids Resilience Programs can help these children handle their everyday challenges. Our psychologists deliver individual tailored sessions.
Children learn to understand the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and gain experience in dealing with real-life situations. This not only assists in seeing a problem in perspective, but to recognise that they have a choice about how to respond.
The program is aimed at Year 5 to Year 8 students. This is a time when a child’s thinking style is flexible and they can be taught a resilient and optimistic way of dealing with life’s challenges.

10 Individual Sessions for School Aged Children
One to one sessions have been developed for children with significant emotional or behavioral issues, anxiety or depression. Often these children have experienced a large setback or change in their lives.
A psychologist will tailor sessions for these children, teaching the foundation of resilience in the beginning and moving through to the child to becoming an independent problem-solver, more in charge of their own emotions and actions. Improvements in happiness and behaviour both at school and at home are important outcomes to strive towards.
