Happy 2015! May this be a year of happiness and reaching your full potential.

Wow! What an exciting year 2014 has been for Conscious Kidz. I started with the first Basic workshop on 29 March and ran a number of these 2 day workshops through out the year. From there I also started an Advanced workshop and from the middle of the year my new Junior workshop for 6-8 year olds was launched with great success. Thank you all for your support!

So what does the new year have instore for Consious Kidz? I'm very excited to announce that my new "Enneagram - What motivates your child" workshop will be launched in the new year. Watch this space for more details. It will be based on the Integrative Enneagram instrument that assesses one's prefered personality type (out of 9 types) based on what motivates you in life. It is like a human map with 9 distinctive personality types.

The Integrative Enneagram Institute of South Africa is also launching a parenting questionnaire in the new year that I will use in my workshops for parents.  Parents will be able to assess their prefered type of parenting style and learn how they need to adapt this to suit their child's prefered style of motivation.

Details on these new exciting workshops for kids and parents will follow soon.

I will still continue to run my Basic Life skills workshops, including Advanced workshops and the Junior workshop for 6-8 year olds throughout the year.
