“Working with Happy Confident Kids has helped my daughter to think and feel positive about herself and her environment, giving her the confidence to be her happy, brave self again. The service is something special -I cannot thank you enough.”
Every day, I am grateful for the privilege of doing this work—being a Kids Confidence Coach is deeply rewarding, especially when delivering immediate, life-changing support to young people. A Year 9 student was experiencing severe anxiety and a critical lack of self-belief. This manifested in physical tension, difficulty making eye contact, and near-total verbal freeze […]
“I just loved the honesty and the positivity throughout the course. It let children know that it’s natural to feel worried, it’s ok to need a bit of help to believe in yourself.”
“After week one my 7-year-old boy said it was just like a party Mum. I even got a goody bag (referring to the happiness jar) he really enjoyed it.”
“The sessions were game changing for both us and have given us a way to now manage anxiety when it comes (which is now less frequent). There are still challenges and we are now both better equipped to deal with them. Thank you Happy Confident Kids.”
“After my sessions I’m making more friends, I’m more happy and I’m more confident”
“Really simple but effective tools and discussions to help myself and my daughter navigate some complex emotions. Amazed the difference it has made in just a few sessions”.
“Thanks for the session, x was so much happier on Friday. They really enjoyed the sand activity and we’ve looked at his jar a few times since and talked about the colours of the emotions, how they are all mixed up inside him/us but that talking about them helps us understand ourselves better. It’s an analogy that’s worked really well for him. He’s also super proud of coming up with invincible during the session. x is so much less angry than before our first session and when he gets angry can identify why he’s angry which is huge progress. The things you’ve been working on with x have also been very helpful for me.”
Glimmers are the tiny moments of joy, warmth, or connection that are easy to miss — but when you start noticing them, everything changes.
Since I started noticing Glimmers, my whole perspective has shifted. It's a game changer!
Nice to feel valued and supported as an individual. We often miss out our own care in the struggle to set up all the many school and group sessions that we run throughout the year.
