Coaching for kids through puppets

June 7, 2010

Terry was five years old. He had trouble paying attention. His behavior was often irratic. It often seemed liked Terry lived in another universe. But today Terry was serene, focused and well behaved. He stood watching Cory the puppet.
Cory's green hair flowed wildly and his blue mouth and big ping pong eyes amazed Terry. Terry was absorbed in Cory's story, he listened he reacted and was present. It was the first time Terry's teacher had seen him so captivated, so excited and happy.
Puppets have the power to reach even those who sometimes seem unreachable. Puppets give way to a world that cuts through barriers and offers a safe place to be, to learn and create. Puppets create worlds that stir emotion, make us laugh and love.
I am very excited to be bringing Coachfriendzy to you!! Coming this summer my puppet friends will be coaching kids through stories, music and storytelling. Coaching kids to get in touch with themselves and others. Coaching kids in gratitude, healthy relationships, self esteem and so much more. With upcoming newsletters with information for parents, educators, health professionals and all those who work and love children. Look for new friends and lots of fun!! I will keep you posted. Meanwhile have a safe and fun, fun, fun summer. We'll all be seeing you very soon!!!

The sky is this amazing shimmery blue, there is no wind and finally spring seems to have arrived. I actually see leaves on the trees. We wait so long to see green in Alberta. When it finally shows up, I wake up. Sun and warm and shorts and running. Running! I have been running for almost thirty years. Nothing feels better then being part of nature. Running connects me to bugs and grass and mountains and me.

But this beautiful day I am struck with a deep pain in my hip. Over used tendon...

This is it!!

This is it here I am,
a brand new blog for a new woman!
I'm a little nervous and a little scared
I've never blogged, never used to care!
Now I know this is right for me,
get connected and plant some seeds.
So as I transition from couch to chair,
in front of my computer, forget the hair!
I'll try really hard to try and share!!
Sometimes its easier to make things rhyme
It happens to me all the time.
so hi world, work with me
so I can love all your diversity.
I'll talk about things that ...
