This engaging positive behavior program promotes caring for yourself and for others. Students come to understand the true meaning of kindness, generosity and being of service to others. Richard and his ventriloquist puppets, accompanied by his comical magical skills, will highlight the need for confidence, common sense, and a willingness to understand that responsible behavior is the cornerstone to prosperous living.
Example:
Richard brings out a Ben Franklin puppet who shares how he invented the Franklin stove which is still used today. Ben explains to the students that he was offered a patent but refused it. He could have made a lot of money on that stove, but instead he published a pamphlet on how to build one’s own stove. Ben educates on how reaching out to help others makes a life and one’s actions meaningful. He adds that the more you give to others, the more good you will receive in return.
Gershen Kaufman, Phd, Lev Raphael, Ph. D and Pamela Espeland in their outstanding book "STICK UP FOR YOURSELF", explains that "positive self-esteem is the single most important psychological skill we can develop in order to thrive in society."
As part of this character building program we discuss what self-esteem really means and easy ways to keep an “I DID IT” list to celebrate goal setting and accomplishments.
The important message the students take away from this program is that self-esteem isn't bragging or believing that they are better than someone else, but rather that positive self-esteem is being proud of their abilities, their talents and their willingness to be respectful and loving to others.
This 40-45 minute elementary school assembly program teaches that respect is the fundamental character quality that prepares students to live productive lives as they relate and work with others.
"I just wanted to personally thank you for the wonderful program you did today for the students of St. Stephen's. The children loved the program and they received an excellent message. Bravo! We will definitely see you next year."
