Bullying, Horses and Self Esteem
At Holistequine we work with the horse to discover each child's potential and provide them with the necessary life skills for adulthood During our interactive programs the horse is able to mirror and unlock their hidden potential and change the way each child feels about themselves thereby improving the way they interact with others
How can we expect our children to navigate their way through life if they are never taught basic life skills, if they are never taught how to express themselves in a manner that is acceptable in society? The reason children and teenagers fight, bully and "misbehave" is because they are often unable to understand their "feelings" and are attempting to push boundaries in order to find their place in the world. However if their potential is realised and they are given high self esteem and a sense of "boundaries" early in life they would not have to act this way. Children and adults alike need to be able to survive in the world both intellectually and emotionally. In our western society we can tend to overprotect and indulge our off springs whereas in other cultures and traditions these same children are prepared for adulthood through a ritual or a 'rite of passage" which prepares them physically, emotionally and mentally for the discipline of becoming an adult. We are failing our children if they are not able to communicate with others both verbally and non verbally and by not teaching them how to handle emotions like anger, frustration and compassion. The ability to do this effectively is called Emotional Intelligence or E.I.
Our programs not only give children mental strength and focus but also through working with the horse they experience and integrate the "sensation" of self esteem throughout their emotional body. With the horse's help they have earned the feeling of personal power and it has integrated to become part of their consciousness Equine Assisted Life Coaching is a form of Equine Assisted Therapy that treats the whole person in body, mind and spirit Please contact us for times and dates of these children's sessions For information about our online horse courses E-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |
