SoulKids - Why we started SoulKids

In 2003 whilst on a visit to India I met some parents who were singing the praises of a program called “SoulKids”. Whenever someone is enthusiastic about something they naturally speak about it and tell others.

The comments I was hearing excited me and included the following;
My daughter was shy and after attending SoulKids she is much more confident”
 “My son was considered aggressive and he bullied other children. After attending SoulKids he started to value others more and became much more loving to himself and others “
There were many more, however these 2 impacted me so much that I tracked down the founder, Vikas Malkani and told him that SoulKids should not be limited to India, it should branch out globally.
We decided to join forces and in 2004 we brought SoulKids to Singapore and created a format and content that children love and one which brings changes from the inside out.
We work with children to bring them essential life skills for happiness and success.
We introduce subjects such as self-esteem, self-awareness, team work, leadership, positive self-belief and so much more.
We tell stories that make an impact and we introduce fun games so the children have a real experience of how to manage in different situations.
Children leave SoulKids knowing their strengths and also having an awareness of how their thoughts and actions affect others.
Over the years SoulKids has developed and we have won awards for “Best in Class” for Life Skills.
SoulKids Coaching has been introduced so children have an opportunity for one on one support on deeper issues (Issues such as moving to a new country, parents’ divorce, school bullying etc.)

SoulKids Mentor Training has been introduced for adults who want to learn how to inspire children, how to be better parents and how to simply bring out the best in each child they meet.
SoulKids Mentors also can become a part of the SoulKids team and spread the SoulKids wisdom worldwide alongside Vikas and Sally.
We teach SoulKids Mentors once a year and the next program is on 22-26 April 2018.
For upcoming programs for children please see our calendar: http://www.soulkids.org/events
One on One coaching sessions can be booked at your convenience by contacting the SoulKids Manager, Vidhya on soulkids@soulcentre.org.
