Social problems amongst the children in the UK - how The Magic sunglasses can help

Following the recent problems amongst the youths in the UK we stress the importance of developing personal self worth at a young age.

The Magic Sunglasses Project addresses the key social issue of a lack of respect in children for others and more importantly themselves! This is a problem in the UK right now, and potentially an issue the Magic Sunglasses is tackling here and worldwide .

So first is to tackle the lack of respect for themselves which is ultimately a low self-esteem. Which is linked to under achievement, violence and other growing social problems such as eating disorders, suicide attempts, depression and teenage pregnancy, bullying, delinquency, violence towards others, drug use, alcohol abuse, educational under-attainment, racism and problems caused by diversity

The need

* As a result, there is a growing need/demand from teachers, parents, government, local authorities and leaders in the community for effective products and systems which can increase children's self-esteem and help in dealing with growing social problems

* Children want and need to feel good about themselves even if they are not top of the class

* Teachers and Parents want to feel good look for and need an effective channel of communication with the children in their care and product s which delivers their messages in an acceptable format

The Rowntree Report in 2001 concluded that one of the key requirements for people with low self esteem is to engage in activities which they enjoy and in which they can 'lose themselves'.*

So we at The Magic Sunglasses believe to have a comprehensive project which is not only fun and engaging but educational and can influence the children of the future to live happy, respectful lives. Where they can live with pride in themselves and in the country they live.

Help kids feel great about themselves - with books,workshops and workbooks

It is important to understand that no matter how hard we try, as adults we can’t always supervise and physically guide a child all day every day. So it is important they are given the chance to believe in themselves and live with confidence and self belief. This can be achieved, reinforced and inspired in many ways. The most effective way I find is throughout a child’s own personal time, through their entertainment, play and creative times. This is when they are free of issues and absorbed in their own thought and imaginations. With this in mind, the most beneficial forms of inspiring confidence and belief in self worth is through their love of books, TV programmes, toys, special characters. If a child can see their favorite characters living confident and cheerful lives they to will subconsciously re-create these attitudes within themselves- because they themselves believe it- and not as an act they have been informed to portray.

Friends, other children and pupils at school can help children feel good about themselves, but it would be much more beneficial if they had a character that they could refer back to, that they can follow and constantly rely upon at the times when they most need the boost. This I believe to be within the books our children read. If a character in a book is confident, able, willing to try and dreams to succeed. A child can relate to the character and take in the attitudes and values of that character. The most perfect character would be one that had an interactive website which could be enjoyed and be influential on a regular basis. A character that had an on-going diary or blog would be beneficial. This will help the child to develop, maintain and be equipped with continuous thoughts and demonstrations of living life confidently and happily.

So for this reason I welcome to the wonderful world of the Magic Sunglasses!

Empower children with low self esteem with The Magic Sunglasses

The empowerment of children to find their true values is a statement , which was the inspiration behind the motivation for The Magic Sunglasses Project. This project was initiated by the children's Story Book ‘ The Magic Sunglasses' written by Auriel Blanche.(also known as Angela Buck) When this inspirational writer first wrote the book it was to stress her ideal for promoting the ethos of creating a worldwide community of children who have learnt how to value themselves and to use their potential, to live personally successful lives and contribute to the success of others. She does this effectively through her skill of creative and innovative writing which engages children of all ages. Since the book Auriel Blanche has developed what is now known as The Magic Sunglasses Project. Through which she successfully taps into many children's spirits on a global scale, making them visualize desirable outcomes and make positive connections with their inner purpose.

By promoting understanding of diversity and respect for others, Auriel Blanche also works on developments of inner self through imagination and visualisation. Her main focus is on self awareness, new possibilities and problem resolution. Other areas of intent are environmental appreciation, conflict management, awareness of others, global awareness and education of current events.

She believes that it is imperative that children know that their opinion matters and that they can offer something positive to others. By connecting with themselves children can find answers to their own problems and others. With this new found power children can then see a dream and strive to reach it with positivity and a pro active attitude.

Confidence Building at Primary School Age

Primary school kids build confidence

by creating their own Magic Sunglasses ID

The need for self esteem and confidence to provide a secure identity and knowing who they are is a major challenge for many young people these days – leading to proliferation of gangs, etc

The Magic Sunglasses “The Real Me” workshop for 8-12 years old provides a secure and fun environment for children to share and enjoy working together to discover more of their own natural gifts and talents. The children leave the workshop feeling great about themselves, having created a really comprehensive identity of who they are to keep as a record (in mind & hard copy) and a strength in their everyday life. The children use templates provided to design their own magic sunglasses (a metaphor for being able to see inside yourself for who you truly are) and are provided with a workbook and a plastic wallet for keeping their Magic Sunglasses ID card
