FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Just
In Time for National Suicide Survivor Day, November 21: Educator/Child
Advocate Helps Educators and Family Members Foster Children's
Self-Worth, Life Skills, and Leadership Qualities
U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids - Growing My Leadership Garden helps children develop
a "Leadership Garden Legacy' based on mutual respect, cooperation and
teamwork.
[November 16,
2009, Albany OR] When kids get depressed, the consequences can
be severe—even including suicide. For educators, parents,
grandparents, and caregivers facing the challenges of increasing
children's leadership skills and sense of self-worth while creating a
safe, supportive climate, the acronym, U.N.I.Q.U.E. may provide a handy
toolkit: Understanding, Nurturing, Inventive, Quality, Unstoppable,
Expression.
Each letter gets an entire chapter in Debra J. Slover's new book,
U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS: Growing My Leadership Garden— a
Who-Moved-My-Cheese-style parable designed to counteract depression and
build self-empowerment strategies.
Taking one letter at a time, Slover walks the reader through creating
and encouraging the life-affirming, esteem-building, leadership skills
characteristic, and harnessing the six qualities together to form a
"Leadership Garden Legacy" based on mutual respect, cooperation,
teamwork, and other values. Kids who have been bullied may respond
especially well.
U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids and the accompanying Activity Guide are designed as
learning aids to involve the active participation of grownups who can
read the book with a child (8-12), facilitate the activities in the
workbook, and provide guidance and reinforcement in the Leadership
Garden concepts.
More information on the Leadership Garden Legacy program is available
at www.LeadershipGardenLegacy.com. Information on National Survivors of
Suicide Day is available at the Leadership Garden Legacy blog.
