Tools to navigate the ups, downs, and in-betweens of middle school.
Middle school is a swirl of emotions, shifting friendships, and constant pressure to fit in. Strength Within is designed to meet kids right where they are — validating what they feel while offering reliable tools to steady themselves, manage anxiety, and stay true to who they are.
This class goes beyond mindfulness basics by weaving in practices of friendliness, compassion, and self-kindness. Kids discover that real strength doesn’t come from popularity or status — it comes from being authentic, steady, and compassionate with themselves and others.
What Your Child Will Experience
Through engaging, age-appropriate practices, Kelsey introduces:
-
Mindfulness & meditation skills for managing stress and navigating strong emotions
-
What it means to be a friend — to themselves and to others
-
Compassion as an antidote to bullying and meanness
-
Self-kindness as strength — learning that resilience begins with compassion for oneself
-
Authenticity over popularity — valuing who they truly are, not chasing who they think they should be
