PEP’s
mission is to create, support,
and implement programs that develop healthy, positive kids.
Our purpose is to help children develop strong bodies,
strong minds and emotional power.
We
believe that children are whole children. Like
adults, children are mental, physical, and emotional
beings and as parents and teachers we need to address
and develop all these areas of their lives. Focusing
on just test taking skills in our schools is not enough.
We must feed them whole foods and engage them in exercise
to develop strong bodies and minds. We must teach them
simple strategies backed by the latest research in neuroscience
to develop mental muscle and a positive, happy mindset.
We must teach them how to manage their emotions to reduce
stress, overcome adversity and communicate effectively
with others. After all 80% of adult success is determined
by emotional intelligence and yet in most schools we
are not teaching the emotional skills children need to
succeed. When you see each child as a whole child, not
just test taker or a physical body, you realize that
we need a whole solution to teach and raise a whole child. |
