Coaching
Coaching is a gift that will serve a child for their life. The sessions are online once or twice per week, depending on need, in a group setting. You can choose one of two focus courses: emotions coaching or goals coaching.
In the emotions coaching sessions, no more than 5 students come together online to learn about things like the neuroscience of being happy, habits that keep our brains healthy, mindfulness methods to calm ourselves and not ruminate in negative emotions, and communicating our emotions and needs in the best way to be received and helped. Life is hard. And the energy and emotional resilience needed goes beyond common sense. It needs to be taught. We believe that of all the subject matter that will serve our young people most, mental health and communication are at the top of the list. Job opportunities expand, relationships blossom, addictions are avoided, and joy abounds.
In the goals coaching course, no more than 5 students come together online to learn about the importance of setting goals, how to make it most effective, and the best ways to build habits that support our goals. Students set long term and short term goals for themselves, based on their own desires and needs. Then they choose one short term goal to work on with the coach, Ms. Angel. She helps them make action plans and then acts as their accountability partner to check in with them through the week and encourage them in their efforts. She is their teacher and cheerleader. At the end of the course, each students is celebrated for their accomplishments. As they overcome their personal challenges, their confidence grows, their self efficacy grows, and lessons on grit and dedication are reinforced.
Angel is a certified youth coach, mother of 5, and previous public school teacher. Through her own studies of emotional wellness, communication, and personal development, she has developed curriculum and teaching activities to help youth gain an understanding of how to navigate their own personal challenges with emotional resilience and perseverance.
Sessions have a focus on emotional safety for everyone, fun, learning, and skill building.
From the beginning, the mission has been to put the best learning tools in the hands of kids who need it, TWO children at a time. Every time someone buys an exciting new learning supply from our site for THEIR child, money gets donated for the education of a child in a developing country who needs it!
Founder and CEO, Angel Nilsson, was a jr high school math teacher when she took a trip to Peru in 2016 that changed her. She went to help build playgrounds, paint, and donate supplies for children in public schools and schools for children with disabilities. The faces and smiles of those children will forever be with her and the needful condition of those schools motivated her to dedicate her life's working to improving their education.
With her knowledge of the common problems that kids in the US face in their education, she decided to create a solution for them and for the kids in Peru simultaneously. She set out to design supplies that would have innovative features to make being prepared and organized in school simplified for adolescents.
And when anyone makes a purchase they will not only improve the educational experience of their student, but also of a child in a foreign country who needs the extra resources. And so 2 children at a time, through the power of education, we can positively impact the present lives of many and the future of the whole world.
