If you’ve ever watched a young child at play…
it’s magical!
Four-year-olds twirling with joy. Pretending to be superheroes. Believing they can do anything. Be anything.
At that age, there’s no self-doubt. No fear of what others think.
Just joy. Imagination. The sense that anything is possible.
But somewhere along the way, something shifts.
By the time many kids are 7 or 8, comparison starts to creep in:
- “Am I good enough?”
- “What will other kids think?”
- “Why can’t I be more like them?”
Their spark begins to dim before our very eyes.
The truth is, children face more stressors than ever!
External influences:
- Peers and popularity pressure
- Mean talk, exclusion, bullying
- Social media and cultural expectations
- Everyday disappointments
Internal influences:
- Comparison and judgment
- Negative self-talk
- Self-doubt and fear of failure
- Feeling different or not fitting in
As parents, we can see this happening and we want to help.
But often, we just don’t know how.
We can tell our children we love them.
We can tell them they’re amazing.
But love alone can’t give them self-esteem, confidence, happiness, or success in life.
But no matter how much we love our children, we can’t give them self-esteem.
What we can do is teach them to develop it in themselves.
And that’s exactly what Adventures in Self-Esteem™
is designed to help you do.
Imagine your child walking through the world
with their head held high…
Confident. Resilient. Proud of who they are.
Able to face life’s ups and downs without being torn down by comparison, peer pressure, or setbacks.
Loving themselves — not because of what others say or what they achieve,
but because they know they are worthy, just as they are.
This is what’s possible when your child learns to
build self-esteem from within.
You’re in the right place if you want to help your child:
- Break free from the comparison trap
- Trust their own inner voice over the noise of peers and social media
- Love who they are — exactly as they are
- Become their own best friend
- Overcome self-doubt and negative self-talk
- Learn through a proven, step-by-step system that’s easy to use — even if you’re not a coach or teacher
And this program is especially for you if you’re looking to create…
- Deeper connection with your child
- A shared language for talking about thoughts, feelings, and challenges
- A safe space where your child feels seen, heard, and supported
- A lifelong bond as their trusted advisor — not just during childhood, but for life
This program is not for you if:
- You’re looking for an app or passive screen-based solution — this is an interactive, parent-led program designed to build connection and conversation.
- You want a program your child does entirely on their own — Adventures in Self-Esteem™ is designed for you to guide your child through, helping them apply these skills in real life.
- You’re expecting a quick-fix — building lifelong self-esteem is a journey, and this program gives you the tools to support your child along the way.
Here’s the great news…
Self-esteem is a skill.
Mindset is a skill.
And just like any skill, self-esteem can be taught, practiced, and strengthened.
Adventures in Self-Esteem™ is a parent-friendly, story-based curriculum designed to help you guide your child in developing strong, resilient self-esteem from the inside out.
Through the power of storytelling, conversation, and simple activities, your child will learn to:
- Love and honor their unique self
- Recognize and shift negative self-talk
- Shape their self-image with empowering “I Am” affirmations
- Build a solid foundation of self-esteem that doesn’t depend on external validation
This isn’t a course they watch passively or a workbook they complete alone.
It’s a fun, interactive, connection-building journey that helps your child step
into their best self — and helps you become their trusted guide along the way.

Inside the Adventures in Self-Esteem™ Curriculum
Meet your child’s internal team for soaring self-esteem:
Me, Myself and I!
In four transformative sessions, your child will learn…
Skill 1: Self-Esteem is a Skill
Skill book: I Love me! How to Develop Soaring Self-Esteem
Story: “Yucky Me. Yahoo Me!”
In the first session, your child begins by learning that self-esteem comes from the inside—not from grades, popularity, or accomplishments.
Through the story “Yucky Me. Yahoo Me!”, kids learn that they have the power to choose self-esteem. They’ll practice flipping negative thoughts into empowering ones and take their first step toward becoming the leader of their inner world.
Session 2: Meet “Me!” – Honoring uniqueness
Skill book: I Honor Me! How to Be Yourself and Honor Your Uniqueness
Story: “The Sun, The Wind, and The Rain”
In the second session, your child meets the first member of their self-esteem team: “Me!”
In this session, kids learn to honor their own uniqueness and to see the uniqueness in others. They’ll understand the dangers of comparison and judgment, and how to appreciate their talents without needing to be “better than” or “just like” someone else.
The story “The Sun, The Wind, and The Rain” helps kids embrace their one-of-a-kind gifts, and the activities encourage self-discovery and family connection.
Session 3: Meet “Myself” – Positive Self-Talk
Skill book: Self-talk—Mastering the Secret Behind Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence
Story: “Choosing Your BFF (Best Friend Forever)”
In session 3, your child meets the second member of their self-esteem team: “Myself”—the voice inside their head.
Kids discover the incredible power of self-talk and how to shift the thoughts that tear them down into thoughts that build them up.
Through the story “Choosing Your BFF”, they learn how to become their own best friend by choosing positive, empowering messages. This lesson gives children one of the most powerful tools for self-esteem and emotional well-being for life.
Session 4: Meet “I” – Identity and I Am Affirmations
Skill book: Self-talk Part 2 — The Power of I AM
Story: “The Power of ‘I Am’”
In Session 4, your child meets the third member of their self-esteem team: “I”—the part of themselves that creates identity.
They learn that the words “I am” are some of the most powerful words they can use to define who they are and how they feel.
In the story The Power of “I Am”, your child discovers how to use affirmations to shape their mindset, self-image, and emotions.
This session helps children choose who they want to be and then step powerfully into it.
How it Works
The curriculum includes 5 sections that bring these skills to life!
A welcome section that kicks off this amazing Adventures in Self-Esteem™ journey. Discover how to use the curriculum and guide your child every step of the way.
And 4 Skill Books that are used to help your child develop the 4 mindset skills shared above.
Each skill book guides the learning and includes:
- Parent Mentor’s Guide with background information and coaching tips for you so that you feel confident and prepared to guide your child.
- Children’s Guide with the coaching story, discussion questions, one or more activities to help your child learn, understand, and practice, the skill so that deep learning occurs!
Designed for busy families:
- Easy to fit in, fun to do – enjoy a full session in 45–60 minutes, or break it up to fit around busy days, homework, and family life.
- No teaching experience needed – just bring your love for your child and a willingness to explore together! The stories and simple step-by-step guides do the teaching, making each mindset skill fun and easy to do together.
- Brings your family closer – spark meaningful conversations, create fun connection moments, and give your whole family a shared language for navigating life together.
Why Stories?
Since 2013, Adventures in Wisdom has brought mindset skills training to children in over 30 countries using our story-based curriculum. And it works!
By using stories to teach mindset skills, we help your child:
- Create stronger memories because more of the brain is involved when experiencing a story
- Emotionally connect with key concepts
- See real-life examples through relatable characters
- Practice critical thinking, reflection, and application
- Create lasting change at both the conscious and subconscious levels
With the Adventures in Self-Esteem Curriculum, you will use the power of storytelling, discovery questions, and activities, to help your child understand, remember, and apply the mindset skills they need to thrive.
Your child not only learns what to do, but why it works — giving them a deeper sense of ownership and empowerment.
Because when a child understands how their thoughts, words, and habits shape their reality, they’re not just ready for school…They’re ready for life.

What Parents and Children Are Saying
From Parents…
“After just one session, I saw my daughter start speaking more kindly to herself — and now we have a way to talk about feelings we never had before.” — Parent of 9-year-old
“This program is so easy to use, even with my busy schedule. I loved how it brought us closer and gave my son tools I wish I’d had growing up!” — Parent of 8-year-old
“The stories really work. My child connected with them instantly and now talks about ‘choosing her self-esteem’ all the time.” — Parent of 7-year-old
“I wanted something that wasn’t just another app or screen. This gave us real conversations and built a strong foundation my son will have for life.” — Parent of 10-year-old
From Children…
“I discovered that I am in control of my feelings ─ not anyone else. This makes me feel in control of myself. How I talk to myself and think about myself is up to me. If I think bad things about myself, I feel bad about myself. If I think nice things about myself, I can shift my anger and feel happier.”
“I learned a lot about how my mind works and why I sometimes get angry at myself. I now know that I can change the way I talk to myself. If I talk in a nice way, then I can feel better.”
“I loved exploring the stories and making the mirror because it gave me an opportunity to practice, and this is something I struggle with at times. I also loved having time with Mom just to talk and play.”
14-Day Peace of Mind Guarantee
We want you to feel completely confident in your investment. That’s why we offer a 14-Day Peace of Mind Guarantee. Take 14 days to explore the program, read the stories with your child, and begin your self-esteem journey together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this program best for?
Adventures in Self-Esteem™ is designed for elementary-aged children (approximately ages 6–12). The stories and activities are flexible and adaptable for younger or older children as well.
What if I’m not a teacher or coach?
Perfect — you don’t need to be! This program was designed for parents. The Mentor Guides and Children’s Guides walk you through everything step by step. All you need is a heart for helping your child grow.
Is this an online program my child does alone?
No. This is an interactive program you do with your child. It’s about connection and conversation — not screens. You’ll read the stories together, discuss them, and do simple activities that help your child practice each skill.
How much time does it take?
Each session can be completed in about 45–60 minutes — or you can break it into smaller parts to fit your family’s schedule. Most families revisit the stories over-and-over to deepen learning. They are great to review before each school year as children prepare for new teachers, new school subjects, new extracurricular activities, and new friends.
Can I get my questions answered as I work with my child?
The private Facebook Group for Parents provides you with a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents who are on this journey and get your questions answered. The group is supported by the Adventures in Wisdom team who have over a decade of experience bringing this work to children!
How can my child work with a coach if we need more support?
If you would like to hire a WISDOM Coach to work with your child you can either search our coach directory or complete a “connect with the coach” form. You can learn more about that here: https://adventuresinwisdom.com/wisdom-coach-directory/.
Can I “try before I buy”?
Absolutely and we encourage you to do so. We offer a sample of our curriculum under the “Free Story” tab at the top of our website menu bar. This is skill book 15 from our core coaching curriculum and is also included in The Adventures in Self-Esteem Curriculum.
I downloaded the self-talk story for free on your website. Why am I being charged for it in the Adventures in Self-Esteem Curriculum?
Because we give the 3rd skill book, Self-Talk, away for free on our website, it was NOT included when we determined the investment for this program. We like to give you a chance to “try before you buy”.
Can I coach other kids too?
Not with the Home Study License. If you’d like to coach other children, then you are a perfect fit for the Business Use License. The Business Use License authorizes you to teach The Adventures in Self-Esteem™ Curriculum in a business, non-profit, or volunteer setting. With our Business Use License, you can get certified as a WISDOM Trainer™ and will receive marketing and business tools to support you in marketing, selling, and delivering this curriculum. Learn more here: https://adventuresinwisdom.com/self-esteem-biz-use/
Can I invest in the full Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching for Kids Curriculum – all 27 skills?
The Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching for Kids Curriculum is available through the WISDOM Coach® Certification program. There are three different package options to choose from, including a package that does include the certification, additional coaching tools, and access to our private Facebook group for coaches but does not include the marketing and business training. You can learn more about that program here: https://adventuresinwisdom.com/wisdom-coach-certification/
Does this work with children who are neurodiverse?
Absolutely. You know your child better than anyone. If you’re not sure, we recommend that you download the free coaching story (see the top menu bar on our website) and try it out with your child. Over the years, many of our WISDOM Coaches have successfully worked with children who are neurodiverse. That being said, our program does not provide specific teaching, training, or guidance in working with children who are neurodiverse.
Will I receive a printed hard-copy of the curriculum?
No. The program is available as a PDF download that you can print or use on an ereader. It is delivered immediately and you can get started today. No waiting. No shipping. No time zones to manage.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 14-Day Peace of Mind Guarantee. If you find the program isn’t a fit for your family, just contact us within 14 days for a refund. There is a 10% cancellation fee to cover credit card processing and administration fees.
From my heart to yours…
You’re about to create some truly magical moments with your child. These stories sparked giggles, deep talks, and confidence-building “aha” moments with my own children and I’m so excited for you to experience that too.
Have fun with it. Be curious. Let the stories lead the way.
Thanks for letting us be part of your parenting adventure!
With joy,
P.S. One day, your child will look back and remember these moments with you and realize how much they shaped who they’ve become.
