I am making this page about childrens emotional health and education because I have finally found a program that actually addresses the issue with love and fun. It is written by a teacher who knows her stuff and my kids love it, even my 3 year old who doesn't like much at the moment being 3 and all.
I want every school and home to have access to this wonderful program, as a mum I know what it is like to be frustrated and at my wits end! Kaleidoscopes has given me fun ways of building a great friendship with my kids and I hardly ever yell anymore, really. You have to try this. Not only does it work but it is easy and fun. I am really happy in knowing my kids can express themselves so I can understand what is really going on inside their little minds.
On top of all of that I am finding it easier to play with them because Kaleidoscopes give me great ideas that I like doing as well. I am very impressed, can you tell. LOL
Please visit Kaleidoscopes now. It is for parents and teachers and childcare professionals so let your schools know about it also. We need some help and so do our teachers to give our kids the best possible start and care we can. So if you have children this program is a must.

Testimonials
This is what other parents, teachers and kids have said.
'During 2004 St Mary's was fortunate enough to obtain funding to help purchase the Kaleidoscopes Program. This is a well researched and teacher friendly program and I trained in the use of the program with the author, Julie Pretyman. I was very keen to trial it in our school. This practical program not only enhances personal development and self-esteem but also resilience. I started with a small group of eight boys from grades one through to six. In this setting the Kaleidoscopes Program enabled these boys to 'communicate about, and to express, their feelings and emotions' in a non-threatening positive environment. This led to improved relationships between the boys and other school members.
The Kaleidoscopes Program gives very clear concise instructions with few extra resources needed. Very little preparation is needed which is imperative for busy teachers. Due to the success of the Kaleidoscopes Program, I intend using it again this year with a group of primary students.'

'Julie will be familiar to some of the students attending the Minds Alive - Mini School from her work with the very popular 'Kaleidoscopes' program. She is a talented educator who operates her business 'Beyond Purple' from the Sunshine Coast. Julie has honed her interest with colour to create a range of educational materials for people of all ages, enabling them to connect and tap into their inner strengths. During the mini school Julie will support the students to understand the various qualities of strength that they possess and provide them with the ability to acknowledge and utilise these effectively.'
'Kaleidoscopes provides learners in the middle phase with the opportunity to engage in a supported learning journey of 'self' discovery, to develop greater awareness and understanding of 'self' as a thinker and a learner. It connects 'like-minded' learners and strengthens the qualities of social and emotional resilience.'

'As part of my role as Special Education Advisor to fourteen schools in the Richmond Region of the Diocese of Lismore, I assist schools to resource their student welfare programs.
In January 2004 I was delighted to meet Julie Pretyman, the author of a well researched program which addresses the needs of many students with emotional difficulties. Julie has layered years of research onto her teaching background to develop a program which taps into the core of children's (and adult's) awareness of self and others. 'Kaleidoscopes' is a colourful, cleverly designed sequential program which can be worked through as a small group, individually or with a class. The program runs for fifteen weeks and all resources required to carry out the program have been personally designed by Julie.
We employed Julie to deliver some professional development to teachers in our schools in 2004. This was extremely well supported and three schools have gone on to purchase their own programs and run Kaleidoscopes with the students in their schools. Reports back from these students after doing the program have been very positive and all schools will be continuing to run Kaleidoscopes. Julie will be returning to our Diocese in May 2005 at the request of teachers to train more staff in running the program.
As schools struggle to address the myriad of emotional needs of the students in our schools, it is wonderful to have programs being developed by people like Julie Pretyman with Kaleidoscopes, to assist in providing structure and meaning for these students.'

Comments from children
" During this program I have discovered that I am a person on the earth that matters. I feel like a black storm cloud full of rain waiting to rain down and discover new opportunities. My new exploration starts now"
"I have been able to express all my feelings through Kaleidoscope pictures. I feel that it's been a great experience and if any other children get the experience I had I think they would love this program. I wish it went for longer."
"These activities have taught me not to be angry and to be happy and not to smash peoples faces in each time they annoy me."
"I learnt that I don't have to be anybody else. I can just be myself."
"I've learnt the colours and emotions that are inside of me and I've seen some of the pictures in my mind. I've learnt about my feelings"
"I think it should go on because it told me about how I feel and it should be at every school because it taught me good things."
"This program has changed what I think about a lot of things. If we didn't do this program I'd never have learnt."
Comments from teachers participating in the Kaleidoscopes professional development workshops
"I feel more relaxed and calm after today than I have felt in a long time. I also felt a 'connected-ness' to other task force members that I felt was missing."
"It married beautifully with other programs we have been implementing."
"I like how it moves from the outer person to the inner spiritual."
"Extremely therapeutic - need more of it."
"I really enjoyed doing the activities. It was truly a pleasure to be immersed in colour and positive thoughts."
"I like the use of colour/music as I think that this will really speak to children who have trouble getting in touch with their emotions"
"I can see this really working with our children with anxiety disorders etc."
"I loved the hands-on approach to the Kaleidoscopes Program. Small groups of children could use the program to add success and meaning to their lives."
"I feel all children should look within to build that sense of self."
"As a secondary teacher I could imagine this program being used through pastoral care groups and not necessarily only for special needs students."
"These ideas can be a benefit to many children. A great way of extending their thinking, realising their own inner strength, and to have a tool to draw on in difficult times."
"I can see a valuable opportunity with the kinaesthetic/visual aspect of this program for troubled adolescents."

- Pretty great testimonials hey, I personally know this program rocks. I have used it for 3months now and absolutely love it. Hence the reason for this lens.

I believe it is mainly a parents responsibilty, though teachers have a large part to play as well, I would feel much happier if I knew my kids teachers where emotionally healthy and knew how to help my kids be that way as well.
Do teachers have a responsibilty to emotionally educate our children.
