These workshops aim at teaching children to relax their body and focus their mind to deal more effectively with bullying, peer pressure, test anxiety, and other family- or community-related stressors.
This interactive, hands-on program helps develop resilience in children through experiences with art, movement, music, guided imagery, team and confidence building, stress reduction techniques, and games which support academic and social goals.  Through these experiences, children learn the I Glow concepts: mind muck and glow thought awareness, healthy management of behavior and emotions, and the development of positive inner dialogue. Our staff is trained and monitored in Glowmundo’s philosophy, lesson plans and activities, ensuring high quality programming.

In addition to working with children, the I Glow program includes 4 1/2 hours of parent training and 6 hours of teacher training.  Social emotional development research shows that when parents and teachers are working cooperatively to support the child’s well-being there is greater chance of success on all levels.  The program is offered as an afterschool option, and can be offered at school sites, through other non-profits, or community recreational centers.
