UNLOCKING SUPER POWERS TO TRANSFORM FROM
ANGRY INTO AWESOME
INTRODUCING
Life Wizards Power Cards
Feeling mad does not make you a bad person, but dealing with bad feelings can be quite a task.
Our thoughts, feelings and behaviours stem from our belief systems which we form very early on in life. Behaviour (or our reactions to situations) is most often learned through modelling our parents, peers and educators who most likely were never taught the skills on HOW to deal with their thoughts and feelings.
Life Wizards Academy Coaching and the use of Life Wizards Power Cards focuses on helping kids break those belief systems that no longer serve them and to learn the skills on HOW to manage their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. These tools will build and strengthen their emotional intelligence, creating better connection and communication at home in their relationships, and most importantly, the relationship they have with themselves.
- Life Wizards Power cards are self facilitated playing cards, designed to teach kids (and grownups) how to deal with their thoughts and emotions in a fun and practical way
- They are made to be self facilitated so that kids can feel safe to explore their emotions without having to express themselves in an intimidating environment
- They can also be a great tool for teachers and parents to facilitate conversations around difficult emotions
- The cards set out to teach essential life skills to help kids manage their emotions and deal with any situation easily so they can cope and thrive in their everyday lives
- Each character card represents a specific emotion and the steps to take to move from a negative feeling and replace it with a positive one
- The cards are double sided. On the front side of the card is a negative emotion and the steps outlining the process to deal with that specific emotion. Once the steps have been completed, the card is flipped over to the back to unlock their power and get their emotion potion all leading to a positive state or feeling.
- Each side of the card has an acronym to make it easy to remember the steps, so if your child’s cards are not with them, they can simply remember the acronym.
- The positive side of each card has it’s very own emotion potion with empowering words to train our brain to build a positive narrative – we call this positive self-talk!
Through the cards, kids will learn:
- How to process their thoughts and feelings
- To build and strengthen their emotional intelligence
- Self-awareness,
- To build a positive narrative through positive self-talk
- To practice acknowledgement and self-acceptance
- Mindfulness
- Self-control
- The power to choose and how to trust their choices (Self-Trust)
- Empathy for themselves and others
- Accountability
- Reflection
- To build up their self esteem and form a healthy mindset
- To shift from negative thoughts to positive ones with ease
- The art of self-love and self-empowerment
These skills will empower them to know how and when to take action and help them break limiting beliefs that no longer serve them.
- There are 18 double sided character cards comprising of 36 emotions
- A Mirror Card which teaches kids that they have the power to choose how they wish to feel every day.
- And a rule card with a message for grown ups, an explanation of the acronyms and how the cards work.
