Copyrighted (c) 2010  Empowering Lives For children from age 4 in Childcare centres and up to grade 5 in Primary schools For Years 6 to 12 Though this workshop is aimed at bully prevention, assertive skills are an invaluable life skill that will benefit the participants for the rest of their lives. To deliver the message, we use the song “I’m not afraid of the big bully” to teach them the different steps to be assertive. They are encouraged to interact and are given many opportunities to practise their new skills so that they are prepared when a bully comes along to prevent becoming a victim. Life Skills Live theme of the workshop for the older children is thoughts.  Change your thoughts and you change your life. They learn thoughts are energy and create reality. Negative attracts negative, meaning when you constantly think negative thoughts such as disapproval, critical and mean thoughts abut others, the Law of Attraction brings these thoughts back to you, like a boomerang effect. These thoughts create a reality of bullying and unloving behaviour. To stop behaviour, like bullying, the thoughts that create this particular reality, has to be changed to loving, compassionate and understanding thoughts. The above is demonstrated with interactive 'experiments' using an energy ball, magnets and a boomerang. Then, with the help of worksheets, the students learn what negative and positive thoughts are, what their personal thoughts are and how to change it
