Confident Kids is a Bible-based support group offering a life skills curriculum that helps families with children ages 4 years old through 5th grade deal with the stresses of living in today's world. Confident Kids Support Group is for children whose parents are participants in Celebrate Recovery.

Through games, skits and small group discussions, children learn important life skills while experiencing a safe place to talk about their life experiences. In Confident Kids Support Group, kids grow as they discover they are not alone in their pain.

At Confident Kids Support Group, children will be checked in through our Shelby security system, and will be in a secure area of Bethany First Church. Only the parent or caregiver checking in the child will be able to pick up the child at the end of the night. We want our Confident Kids to be safe and secure while with us and we look forward to working with each of your kids!

The Goals of the Confident Kids Support Group
Confident Kids Support Group is designed to do the following:
• Teach children the skills necessary to understand, talk about, and cope with their life circumstances in healthy and positive ways
• Encourage children to talk about their experiences in a loving, safe environment
• Build self-esteem and a sense of trust through relationships with caring adults
• Guide children into a relationship with God and teach them to use prayer and Scripture as resources in dealing with their life circumstances

A Night at Confident Kids Support Group

Confident Kids Support Group is for children whose parents are participants in Celebrate Recovery and will meet during the Celebrate Recovery Ministry time using curriculum and resources to teach skills to including:

“Facing My Feelings” – Helping kids to understand that we all have feelings and they are neither right nor wrong because they are my feelings! Confident Kids will learn words to express their feelings and ways to cope with those feelings that we all deal with in life!

“Growing Through Changes” – Change is a natural part of God’s design for our world. All of us pass through the same six stages when experiencing major changes in our lives. Confident Kids will learn about denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance and hope and how using our skills, we can have our hurts healed leaving us free to adapt to our new way of life!

“Living In My Family” – Every family is special and unique, and every family has weaknesses and challenges! Our Confident Kids will learn good communication skills that are the building blocks of a strong, healthy family!

“Making Wise Choices” – We all have choices, no matter what the situation! Confident Kids will learn a six-step process for making wise choices!
