Short Description:

‘Learn about Nurturing your Child’s Confidence and Resilience through Therapeutic Growth Art in 50 Minutes’ is not only about helping parents, educators, and caregivers develop the untapped potential of children but also about supporting them with the challenges they face in nurturing that potential. As someone deeply involved in child development, I have witnessed first-hand the pain points that parents grapple with on this journey.

In this book, you’ll find insights into:

  • Creating environments that nurture a sense of security and confidence in children, helping them to overcome attachment and insecurity issues
  • Navigating the delicate realm of negative self-talk and self-perception of children
  • Tackling communication challenges between parents and children
  • Motivating children who are disinterested in academic learning, whether because of boredom or because of inability
  • Managing anger issues in children
  • Deciphering potential special-needs symptoms
  • Managing sibling dynamics
  • Guiding children through the delicate balance of forming friendships
  • Developing stress-coping mechanisms for parents and children, especially in situations of academic overwhelm.

Extract:

Process I Followed: To help BB navigate his academic stress, a series of interventions were introduced that focused on both his mental well-being and academic approach:

  • Mindset Shift—Focus on Efforts, Not Results: The first step was to shift the focus from results to effort. BB was encouraged to celebrate every win, no matter how small, and to recognise the value of his hard work. This change in perspective helped to alleviate some of the stress he was feeling and allowed him to see his progress in a more positive light.
  • Mindfulness and Calming Exercises: To help BB manage his stress, calming mindfulness exercises were introduced. These sessions were designed to help him relax, clear his mind, and approach his studies with a calmer and more focused attitude. During one visualisation session, BB randomly picked up two cards (from a deck I use for counselling, each card denoting a different expression) that strongly resonated with him. The first card represented the problems he was facing, while the second appeared to him as a door leading to success. This visualisation exercise helped BB articulate his challenges and see a pathway to overcoming them.

 

About The Author:

Elfin Ng

I had been working with children for 20 years (youth mentor since 2000, preschool leader since 2007, owner of a multiple-award-winning childcare centre since 2007) when I stumbled into Growth Art Coaching.

It was a case of my personal and professional interests, strengths and knowledge, and a crying need in the market for practical children’s counselling all coming together—in a way I never expected.

AA’s father (AA’s story is featured in Chapter 1: Nurturing a Gifted Mind), my business coach, came to see me for help with his son. Helping AA overcome his behavioural challenges was the first success story—for both AA and me.

A confluence of factors—a mid-life crisis; AA’s father’s encouraging “This ability and skills should not go to waste”; my coming across an art studio ripe for takeover—conspired to get me to launch stART Studio. I’ve never regretted the decision.

My qualifications are:

  • Certificate in Wester Art (2015)
  • Masters in Community Leadership and Social Development (2014)
  • Honors Degree in Early Childhood Care and Education (2012)
  • Diploma in Early Childhood Teaching and Leadership (2010)
  • Certificate in Practical Counselling (2002).
