A confident child who can face life’s difficulties
“I really enjoyed the part where we break a bowl, it’s really good to know when something is broken it can always be fixed”
“Loved the kintsugi!
I really enjoyed the kintsugi - breaking the plates was fun and there were so many ways to put them back together. I also liked all the other different things we made and how they represented our future goals. Simona was really kind and helpful too. Thanks for a great day.”
A child that is happy with who they are
An increase in self-acceptance that promotes personal growth and builds positive relationships.
“I know my child struggles with repetitive thoughts, ever since she was little but... your sessions made her more open about them so we’re normalising and talking about them more”
“Both my sons attended Simona’s workshop. Simona has a gift with children, and her course builds core character attributes - namely perseverance, confidence and self belief. A great course for children’s self development. Moreover, they had a lot of fun in the process!”
A child with better focus
An increased ability to concentrate and discover strengths in order to attain their goals.
“I really got a chance to think about what I am good at and there were lots of new skills that I discovered.”
“My son is 9 years old and about to go into Year 5. He’s developing quickly while the world around him changes. So, to do something like this I think was very important for his overall personal and social development. Simona who facilitates covered: mindfulness, character strengths, setting goals and designing them, teamwork, repairing relationships, friendships, all the things that are crucial for a young person to develop as they navigate the transitions in their young lives My boy came back eagerly talking about all the activities and the insights he had about himself and others. Seems like there is a very supportive and safe atmosphere for the young people to express themselves and to do this extremely valuable work. Highly recommended.”
A grateful child
Feeling appreciation and thankfulness for what we have, what people do for us and all that is good in life.
“Our 7 year old daughter Emma had a blast and a very positive, encouraging and different learning experience at ProfessorHappy Academy.
All whilst having tons of fun and developing and testing her social and numerous other skills.
She has tried and completed many new and challenging tasks that positively bulit her self-awareness, strength and self-belief whilst encouraging positive attitude, as well as team work, to achieve and share great final results of many fun tasks (working on your inner self calmness, peace and relaxation as an introduction, free choice crafting and art using many different materials, ceramic bowl breaking and putting together in your very own unique way, clay art, to name a few...)”
A happy child
Acceptance or reduction of complex negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, guilt, fear.
“I really like how at circle time we used the calming instruments which relaxed our body and went into the Zen zone!”
Learning skills for life
Courage to continue exploring the unfamiliar and reflect back on your learning.
“Overall I really loved the creativeness and how she taught us how to use the fire extinguisher and I’d love to do it again!”
