The adult pictures are pretty good too!
What will you create when you feel great?
And now, every school that participates in Positive Rules, receives a set of baby Australian native plants to enhance their school environment. Although, because it is a one owner business, Positive Rules cannot be denoted a Not For Profit organisation, we are here to assist your-selves and enhance our physical and emotional/mental environments as best we can for your generation and the generations to come! Because:
POSITIVE RULES!
Practical ways to regain a positive and uplifting view of your world and boost your self esteem when you're feeling down, blue, or just plain grumpy!
Fun and enlightening workshops that can be held in the classroom, outdoors, your home - or practically anywhere - for all ages!
For Kids!
Girls 4-8 Girls 9-12
Boys 4-8 Boys 9-12
Incorporating discussions about our feelings - both negative and positive -adapting them into art form, throwing in a bit of fun and positive kid friendly visualisation specifically designed especially for you and you have a wonder-filled experience and a truly happy child! These sessions include craft making and wishing stones! These kids go away positive, uplifted - and very happy kids indeed!
In the last term of 2009, soon after Positive Rules was instigated, parents were given the choice of allowing their children from Grade 1 of a local Melbourne school to participte in a one-off 2 hr session of Positive Rules! Over half of the grade attended to amazing feedback (see "feedback"), word got round, and more children attended for their first time, with others coming back for more.
In 2010 Positive Rules will be involved in certain self development courses and curricula, and we hope your child's school, or your school if you are a teacher/principal, will consider adding the workshop to your classes or self development topics.
Groups of six children at a time (either in the school or in private homes) are given a one-off 2 hr workshop at a very minimal price - please remember, although Positive Rules cannot be classified a Not for Profit organisation because it is owned by a single entity, it IS literally NFP - each child takes so much home with them, not only what they have learned, but art work, craft work, a "wishing" stone, and/or a "magic" stone, and an affirmation card that instils a sense of optimism and pride in the child and is a specific message only for the individual (examples can be sent with our info pack), and for the price and time, for the lessons in how to step back from negativity and bullying, for the mere learning to understand and accept others cultures, feelings and ideas, and the incredibly uplifting, and positive message the child leaves with - and remembers - it is well worth a workshop being interposed into your school morning, or after hours (Positive Rules runs at schools or privately, during the week and at weekends, and is a mobile workshop - we come to you if you cannot come to Positive Rules!).
Additionally, each school is given a set of native shrubs to enhance their school environment and further teach the participants about respect for our native plants and wildlife, and how to nurture same. Private workshop hosts are given a native shrub for their yard.
And - for Positive Teens and Adults!
We also hold classes for teens and adults, and have specially designed meditations for these groups! So you as a parent, single, teenager, do not miss out. In fact, all of us go through incredibly difficult times at some point in our lives, and we all need a positive boost now and then. Go to our contact page if you as a teenager or adult would like further information.
Cyber Bullying and Teen Problems:
We cater for teens, indeed all children of any age, in that are going through their hardest years and most difficult times. We can help you handle the changes in your life, the associations in your social arena and the difficulties you face dealing with friends, family and colleagues. Cyber bullying, being as big and as dangerous as it is, does not have to be seen as such if you choose a different tack and learn to step back from the negatitivies others may want to instil upon you. It does not have to be that way. You are capable of dealing with these situations with a higher and far more positive attitude. You just have to learn how.
Siblings of Kids with Disabilities
Yes, this workshop is for you too. If you would like to spend some precious time with a parent, that you feel you have lost or not had for a while - we all know how hard it is when a sibling has disabilities that the parents need to focus upon - then try Positive Rules! It will regenerate your spirit and uplift your soul, and you will know that you have never been forgotten by your loved ones, you are their delight and you are a delight in yourself - and your-self as well! And you will have your mum and dad along with you to have some really special time together.
Community
Did you know that part of the profits of Positive Rules will go back into the community so that the positivitiy keeps on going round?! Positive Rules is a sponsor of Autism Victoria and has made donations to Animal Aid Victoria and Lort Smith Animal Hospital.
We also happily gift to any schools participating in Positive Rules! a set of native Australian baby plants to enhance their school environment and to teach the child how to nurture and grow these, and to reward themselves and that area by re-introducing Aussie native birds back to these locales.
Can't get to a workshop?
Positive Rules! is a mobile workshop and travels all over the place!
Most of the items used in the workshop are available in our shop, and we can suggest useful tools for those who cannot reach us to attend a workshop, but remember, the workshop will also come to you!
