Self esteem courses?

[BrightSparkles]

If you ask at North Sydney Youth Centre, they will have a list of all the different things that are in the area and running over the school holidays.
There is a few programs out there specifically (sp) designed for young girls.

Also, have a look into programs run by Smith Family. I know they run some programs.

If i see any other programs come across my desk i will come back and post again.

I did a program in a high school a few years ago called "Shine" its a self esteem course, but we did it with 12-13 year olds.

I was going to say Martial Arts as well, my nephew goes to build up his self esteem and it's really worked

Thank you , they are all great ideas! I will ring Nth Syd council!
DD does actually do dance. She's quite good and this year has started an extension class as well as another local one that she had to audition for. Only prob is two of the girls from her school are in it and she clashes with one. The mother always tells me what my DD says (eg whispers and leaves her DD out) but fails to recognise her DD is the same. Her DD even said to my DD once that my DD was not a dancer... she wasnt' as good as her. I just dont feel the need to dob like the other mother obviously does.
Anyway, I did think it would be good for self esteem, and do still think that, so we'll see how we go. Also my SIL is 11 (can you believe it) and she's a great dancer, so there's quite a bit of competition. MIL is very biased about her daughter and I feel alot of DD's low self esteeem could come from this reason.
Ah the joys, girls were delightful when small, I just forgot that they grow up!! Thank goodness number 3 is a boy, think I'll need it by the time he's a teen!!
