The existing issues with Pre-teen and Teens
- Stereotypes portray young adults as irresponsible, indecisive, and lacking basic skills
- There’s a gap between what’s learned in school and the skills needed for real life.
The Solution: Bla Bla Bla and Life Skills Development
- Bla Bla Bla focuses on three core areas: thinking skills, social skills, and emotional skills.
- They offer short-term modules (3 days) and long-term workshops (throughout the academic year) with a maximum of 10 students per class.
- The curriculum emphasizes self-awareness, self-worth, and environmental responsibility
How Parents Can Get Involved
- Parents often learn about Bla Bla Bla through word-of-mouth or demonstrations.
- The company offers free demo classes to help children decide if they’re interested.
- Age plays a role in decision-making: for 7-10 year olds, parents decide; for 11-13 year olds, children have a say; and for 14-17 year olds, children make the final decision.
The Importance of a Safe and Engaging Environment
- Bla Bla Bla prioritizes a respectful and inclusive online learning environment.
- The classes are designed to be interactive and engaging to keep students interested.
The Benefits of Learning Life Skills
- Improved decision-making, communication, and emotional regulation.
- Increased confidence and self-esteem.
- Greater ability to deal with challenges and setbacks.
- Enhanced ability to connect and build relationships with others.
Love Languages for Children
- Similar to couples, children have “love languages” that represent how they feel most loved and supported.
- Understanding a child’s love language can strengthen the parent-child bond.
- Bla Bla Bla helps parents identify their child’s love language and provides guidance on how to use it effectively.
