HOW THE COURSE WORKS

Join Emma Willis, our Happy Confident Kids Crew and an eccentric professor for a 10-week family journey inside your brain, right from the comfort of your own home. Using psychology-based techniques, kids will discover the 10 key character skills (we call them powers) that will help them thrive through life with self-belief, optimism and compassion.

Developed together with therapists, parents, children, and schools, delivered in a TV programme format across 10 meaty, but bite-sized episodes accompanied by mediations, worksheets, and activities.

INCREDIBLE OUTCOMES THROUGH LEARNING 10 POWERS

The ultimate objective of our Life Skill Course is to help children better cope with the pressures they face. Be more self-aware and also more understanding of others. They will have confidence in themselves, to rise to challenges, to express their feelings, and to learn from their mistakes. From each episode and its accompanying worksheets and activities, they will develop skills for life.

IMPROVED SELF-BELIEF AND SELF-ESTEEM

Strong self-awareness in one of the 10 most important life skills that humans need and the better children know themselves, the happier they are. They’ll discover through the Power of Introspection:

  • How to better know and understand themselves.
  • How to be comfortable with who they are.
  • The importance of taking responsibility.
GREATER HAPPIER AND CONFIDENCE

The Power of Optimism helps increase happiness levels and success in life.

Our negative thoughts lead to more negative outcomes. Your children will learn that:

  • Helpful, positive thoughts create good feelings.
  • Good feelings help them make better choices.
  • They’re in charge of their own thinking.
BETTER REGULATE THEIR FEELINGS

The Power of Interoception will teach children how to better understand, and therefore manage their feelings. They will learn:

  • All feelings are valid and are messengers to help them understand themselves and others better.
  • How to identify and articulate their feelings.
  • That they are capable of regulating their feelings and behaviours.
BELIEVE IN THEIR POWER TO LEARN NEW THINGS

A fixed mindset prevents us from moving forward and achieving best results. It stops us from living our best lives through self-limiting beliefs. Through the Power of Mindset they will discover that:

  • Brains are flexible, and can grow and stretch to learn new things.
  • That with practice they can do the things that they want – even if they are tricky.
  • With self-belief, they can achieve.
SEE FAILURE AS A STEP TO SUCCESS

As a rule, children don’t cope well with failure. Through the Power of Failure they will learn to see mistakes as part of a journey in learning and embrace them as lessons on the path to success. They’ll discover that:

  • Failure is a gift and a step towards success.
  • It’s a natural part of learning.
  • Failure is something that helps them understand how to do tough things.
INCREASE RESILIENCE THROUGH PERSEVERANCE

Without perseverance we lose strength of self, strength of conviction and nothing great can ever happen. We lose pride in the things we do as they are all ‘easy’ or simple. The Power of Resilience will teach them:

  • Bouncing back is key to success.
  • With a Growth Mindset and without fearing failure, they are stronger and more able to achieve.
  • Resilience helps them do tough things.
BE MORE CREATIVE IN THEIR OUTLOOK

A number of children switch off the right side of their brain, believing they are ‘not creative’ because they (wrongly) see creativity only in the arts. The Power of Creativity will help them see:

  • Everyone is creative.
  • Thinking creatively helps us tackle things in different ways
  • Creative thinking will gift them a fuller and richer experience of life.
REDUCED ANXIETY & LESS OVERWHELM

The Power of Mindfulness is more important than ever. In today’s media-driven, fast-paced world our children need to be able to slow down, be more present, quieten their busy minds, and take time to be calm. They will discover:

  • Just like their body, their mind needs to be kept healthy.
  • Practising mindfulness increases the focus on helpful and positive thoughts.
  • Mindfulness helps them take charge of themselves.
BE KINDER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

The Power of Compassion is key to creating harmony, a sense of community, shared goals, and a better society. It teaches children that living with kindness and empathy for others is key to their own happiness. They will see that:

  • Positive behaviours have a positive effect on others as well as ourselves and the world around us.
  • Empathy is a skill we can practice.
  • It only takes one kind act to spread kindness.
BETTER ACCEPT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS

Throughout life we question ourselves and our actions. We are too tough on ourselves, and this leads to low self-image and self-esteem. The Power of Acceptance is the pinnacle of 10 Powers, because when we can accept ourselves, both the positives and the negatives, and accept others, the world will be a better place.

  • We are all perfectly imperfect beings.
  • Every self-doubt is another challenge that they can rise to.
  • They have the power and strength to get through challenges.
  • They can believe in and love themselves.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This course is ideal for children aged 8-12. However, if you wish to complete the course with your child, you may find it appropriate for a child as young as 6 with the right level of support.

This course is designed for children, but it is very useful for parents to view it with their child! You are likely to learn a lot of things that you might not already know such as Interoception, Neuroplasticity, Mirror Neurons, and many more useful things!

Each episode is accompanied by an activity that will allow your child to be able to check their knowledge and practice the skill of the week. These are available to download and print at home and will be made available via your courses dashboard that you will have access to once you purchase the course.

Every episode lasts for around 8 minutes and contains a section presented by Emma Willis, a  science section presented by a crazy professor, and a section with testimonials from kids aged 8 to 20.

Purchasing this course for use in a school or to use in a public setting is a breach of our copyright and licensing policy. This course is available for schools and for use in group settings but must be purchased directly from us as a licensing fee will be required.  Please contact us to discuss your school or setting’s needs via schools@happyconfident.com

Each episode introduces a new life skill, or power. The course needs to be completed in order of the episodes as each skill builds on the one before. 

There is an activity for each episode that should be done soon after watching the episode and before beginning the next.

Once an episode is completed, ensure you mark it as complete so that your next episode is unlocked.

Once you buy this course you will receive an email confirming your purchase and then another with a username and computer-generated alphanumeric password and link to our member dashboard.

From here you will be able to set up your account and begin your course.

You’ll be able to watch the programmes via your dashboard, download the accompanying activities and also track your child’s progress.

Please note, the home dashboard is different from the school and settings dashboard and the use of a home dashboard within group settings is not permitted.

We’ve deliberately created a format to engage even the most distracted of children and worked hard with Emma Willis, our crazy professor and the team of children to give everyone something they’d be excited to follow.

However, if you’re finding it hard to get your child to show any interest, you can prepare them, by increasing their curiosity.

Start with asking them questions such as:

  • Would you like to know how your brain works?
  • Would you like to know how to like yourself more and be liked by your friends?
  • Would you like to have some great tools to help you be more successful in school and in life?
  • Would you like to learn ways to help yourself when you’re feeling tricky feelings?

Although your child may be tempted to view the course all in one go, we would recommend allowing around 1 week between each episode, so that your child can practice the character skill/Power that they have viewed. This is particularly relevant if you have also purchased the Super Journal or the Life Skills Journal as these are the perfect complement that allows kids to better understand each character  skill and to practice it every day.

Absolutely! The course content is valuable even for adults! In fact, we have lots of adults who have already completed it! Only you know your kids and whether the style of this course will appeal to them.

Your child will learn some amazing new character skills as they watch HCMtv. The Happy Confident Me Daily Super Journal explains the same 10 character skills and includes daily journaling pages with questions that follow the same theme as HCMtv. This allows your child to better incorporate the 10 character skills into their daily life. And research proves that positive daily habits are the most effective way to change for the better, so the two resources together are much more effective. 

HCMtv is really unique in that it teaches children the latest science on personal development and neuroscience in a very engaging way. There are no other courses where videos build on each other the way HCMtv does to allow children to go through a journey of self-discovery and deep teachings that will allow them to become a better version of themselves and thrive.

Absolutely, we will refund you for your course if you and your child are not satisfied with the content of the course and feel that it has not helped your child. In order to be able to claim a refund, we will ask that you have completed the entire course, and accompanying activities and also provide feedback to help us improve our course. You have 90 days from purchase date to let us know if you’d like a refund and we will refund you whatever the reason.
