About Us — WoWConfidentialYou

Year 5–6 parents and children. One crew, one mission: grow confidence, calm and mastery before SATs, admissions, and the leap to secondary school.

We’re a small team of educators, coaches and wellbeing practitioners who believe learning is both science and story. In the language of Brian Cox, a child’s brain is a tiny cosmos—electrical weather forming new constellations each day. In the spirit of J.K. Rowling, school is a living castle of corridors, friends, quests and occasional dragons (timed papers, anyone?). And with a wink to hold that ordinary streets can be enchanted when a family finds its rhythm: breakfast, movement, courage, kindness—repeated until it becomes magic.

What we do

We run evidence-based coaching for Year 5–6 children and their parents, blending:

• Non-contact Boxing, Exercise & Muay Thai for balance, breath and focus,

• Practical psychology for helpful thinking and steady routines,

• Peer groups—one for adults, one for children—so no one trains alone.

Think of us as your secure base and training camp rolled into one: a place to practise tiny, do-able wins that stack into self-belief.

Our method (the psychological pillars)

• Bowlby – Secure base: children risk effort when they feel safe. We build trust first, skills second.

• Rogers – Unconditional positive regard: you don’t earn your place here—you arrive with it.

• Bandura – Self-efficacy: mastery minutes, modelling and coaching turn “I can’t” into “I did.”

• Maslow – Foundations first: sleep, food, movement and connection before mastery.

• Piaget & Vygotsky – Stage + scaffold: just-right difficulty inside the child’s Zone of Proximal Development.

• Erikson – Industry vs. inferiority: engineer honest wins so work feels worth it.

• Beck & Padesky – Strengths-based CBT Principles: spot what helps, scale it; swap unhelpful thoughts for helpful ones.

• Hayes (ACT) – Values-led action : hold the worry, follow the value, take the next small step.

How a session feels

1. Warm welcome, quick check-in (what the week’s “weather” was—sun, cloud, drizzle).

2. Movement first: non-contact pad work, footwork, breath—body leads brain.

3. Micro-lesson: 5 minutes on thoughts–feelings–actions or test-day skills.

4. Mastery Minutes: two short, timed practices (reading, maths, recall), split by movement.

5. Capsule summary: child names the win; parent names the support that helped.

6. Take-home plan: one tiny action for the week, confidence-rated and scheduled.

Everything is age-appropriate, scaffolded and safe—no head contact, clear safeguarding, loads of praise for effort.

What changes

• Confidence in the body → shoulders relax, breathing steadies, attention returns.

• Helpful thinking → “I’ll never finish” becomes “I can do five minutes right now.”

• Family rhythm → sleep window set, breakfast sorted, after-school “walk-talk”, two Mastery Minutes most days.

• Peer energy → children see children trying; parents see parents supporting. Momentum multiplies.

Programmes (Term-time)

• Year 5 Confidence & Curiosity
  Foundations: routines, calm kit, joyful practice, first timed sections.

• Year 6 Courage & Transition
  Stretch: mock-moment skills, values-led goals, early relapse-prevention for wobbly weeks.

• Parent Crew
  Short, practical meet-ups: designing habits, taming worry talk, modelling “start before you’re ready.”

Safeguarding & quality

• Fully insured, enhanced DBS, child-centred coaching, non-contact combat sports only.

• Clear photography/consent policy; data handled responsibly.

• We track progress with simple measures and celebrate effort over marks.

Our promise

We won’t promise perfect scores. We promise a braver process: a child who knows how to begin, how to breathe, how to try again; a parent who knows how to scaffold, not rescue. Together you’ll build constellations of small wins bright enough to guide the jump to secondary school.

Learn strong. Feel safe. Think bold
