Confident Kids

The Confident Kids Curriculum

        The heart of the Confident Kids program is the curriculum, which provides completely detailed lesson plans and instructions for conducting the CK groups. There are four units that comprise the total program.  Each unit contains eight 90-minute sessions as well as a detailed administrative guide for starting and running the program.  When used consecutively, they provide a 32 week program.

        All the Confident Kids units are Biblically based, easy to use, and adaptable for use in churches, Christian schools, after school programs, recovery groups, family ministries and just about anywhere else you would like to use it!

        The subject matter for each unit is as follows:

        “All My Feelings Are OK.” Children and parents learn how to name their feelings, express them in healthy and appropriate ways, recognize and lower feelings defenses, and to use their feelings to know when it’s time to ask for help.  They are also introduced to King David, who shares how he used music and poetry to express all the many feelings he experienced throughout the events of his life.

        “There Are No Perfect Families.” Children and parents are encouraged to see their family as the people who love and care for them, whoever that may include, as their primary place of belonging and support.  They also learn and practice a variety of family living skills.  Hearing from Adam and Eve assures group participants that God’s plan has always been for people to live in families, but that from the beginning of time, families have had to face and overcome a plethora of problems!

        “Nothing Stays the Same Forever.” Children and parents learn to deal with the significant changes in their lives by grieving the losses that occur when things change. They learn to identify and manage the six stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance and Hope.  Biblical accounts of Joseph, who dealt with many changes throughout his lifetime, encourage children to trust in God’s plan for their lives even through the most difficult and confusing times of change.

        “I Always, Always Have Choices.” Children and parents learn the difference between wise and unwise choices, a six step process for making wise choices, and how to find wise adults when they need to ask for help.  Visits from Queen Esther and Mordecai show children how to follow God’s directions, even through the most difficult of choice making situations.

The Confident Kids Curriculum is available as spiral bound volumes or digitally on a CD or Flash Drive.
