Kids Win Week has been officiall recognized
by Chase's Calendar of Events!
May
2 through May 8 is Kids Win Week! Help a child to win by providing opportunities for that child to experience
himself as capable and see himself as an achiever. Ensure that she will have a series of successful experiences in a safe
and supportive environment such that she will develop a competency or skill. The competency can be in martial arts, music,
dance or anything else. The key is to find or create opportunities for success and to be there to support and encourage the
child every step of the way. According to a two-year study conducted by The National Research Council’s Committee on
Community-Level Programs for Youth, it is critical to provide opportunities for children to build self-efficacy - the experience
of themselves as capable and able to meet life’s challenges - and establish strong supportive relationships with caring
adults.
