Confident Life Program – Confident Life Program

Confident Life Program™

Crafted as a comprehensive, evidence-based Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program, our primary objective is to cultivate robust leadership qualities in children from pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade. We aim to nurture an intrinsic motivation within these young learners to treat their peers with fairness, compassion, and respect, thereby fostering a sense of equality and empathy in all their interactions.

When seamlessly integrated into the daily teaching curriculum, this SEL program serves as a foundation for both emotional growth and academic achievement. By emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, effective communication, and emotional regulation, the program empowers students to navigate challenges confidently and collaboratively. It is designed not merely as an add-on to education but as an essential thread in the fabric of classroom culture, supporting a generation of young leaders who thrive holistically—socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

Information

The Confident Life Program™ aims to create a foundation for lifelong social-emotional competence, helping children navigate their world with confidence and empathy.

Social and Emotional Awareness: Activities and lessons aimed at fostering children’s ability to understand their own emotions and identify them accurately. These activities also emphasize recognizing and empathizing with the emotions of others, helping children to appreciate different perspectives and build emotional intelligence. Examples include storytelling exercises where children discuss characters’ emotions, role-playing scenarios, and guided discussions about feelings and empathy.

Self-Management: Strategies and methods designed to help children cultivate the ability to regulate their emotions and behaviors effectively. This includes managing stress, resisting impulsive reactions, and maintaining determination in the face of difficulties. Activities may include using CLP feelings charts to assist teachers in setting up a calming space, journaling to encourage reflection on emotions, and establishing personal goals to foster perseverance and self-control.

Building Positive Relationships: Exercises designed to teach children the fundamentals of effective communication, active listening, cooperation, and problem-solving in social settings. These activities encourage teamwork and the development of healthy, supportive relationships. Examples include group projects, conflict resolution role-plays, games that foster collaboration, and practicing expressing gratitude or giving compliments to peers.

Ethical and Responsible Decision-Making: Guidance to help children make thoughtful, ethical, and constructive choices regarding their personal and social behavior. This includes evaluating consequences of actions, considering others’ needs, and choosing the most positive and productive course of action. Activities might include analyzing case studies of moral dilemmas, discussing the outcomes of various choices, or participating in community service projects that highlight the importance of responsibility and ethical behavior.

Endorsements

“Every child deserves to learn in a safe and loving environment that is free of bullying, and the Confident Life Program™ provides the social-emotional tools and experiences that give them agency to be a leader and do the right thing when confronting bullies and bullying."

Dr. Michael McQuaryEd D, SDUSD Board Trustee- District C, SCI Honorary Board, SanDISCA Director, SDCHM Director, SoCal Director

“Social-Emotional Learning is as important as the educational academic learning. In a classroom, you have so many different kids that learn in so many different ways. And what the Confident Life Program™ has done, is create a buffet, if you will, of things that the kids can connect to.”

Sarah SalutaExecutive Director San Diego Cooperative Charter School

"The characters in the book are unique and their uniqueness show how conflicts can arise but also how they need each other when they encounter trouble. The lessons about diversity, anti-bullying, and cooperation are illustrated in this book. Children can learn these important lessons through the adventures of a young dancing yeti and his new friend, Heidi. The lesson plans will help parents and educators guide conversation with young children so they can develop the emotional and social skills needed in their own interactions and relationships with others."

Maria GeorgeChild Development Professor

"In "Yeti, Set, Go!" the feelings of the characters are so relatable for children playing a sport for the first time especially when learning the moves might be a challenge. This book shows the real world of learning, of bullies, of friends, of coaches, of treats and solutions to problems that might surface. They will learn even as they are entertained by the actions in the story. I look forward to sharing this with my own grandchildren who are venturing into this arena."

Sylvia WhitlockSylvia Whitlock, Ph.D in Education, Psychotherapist (MFT)

"As a retired District Counselor from San Diego Unified School District, I wish to commend the MTA program and it’s addressing of the ever growing bullying problem in our elementary schools. The appealing Junga the Dancing Yeti books that accompany the Confident Life Program (promoted by MTA), will attract students to deal with the issues of bullying. These books, in conjunction with The Confident Life Program, can be a valuable resource for elementary School Counselors."
