Raising Focused and Confident Kids
7 practical strategies for parents and educators. Learn supportive approaches to focus, confidence, and everyday learning through clear written lessons and a downloadable workbook, with Amir Jan.
What You Will Learn
Learn practical ways to help children feel understood, build confidence, and find it easier to take part in learning.
Based on Amir Jan’s book, this course is designed for parents and educators supporting children at home and in the classroom. Activities can be adapted to each child’s abilities and needs.
You will learn how to:
- Look beyond a child’s behaviour to better understand what they may need.
- Build confidence with encouraging words and manageable steps.
- Consider whether hunger, thirst, or tiredness may be making learning harder.
- Use simple movement breaks and help children return to learning afterward.
- Explore whether gentle music or quiet helps a child concentrate.
- Respond calmly to difficult feelings while keeping rules clear.
- Help children recognize their strengths, practice kindness, and find meaningful ways to contribute.
What’s included
A welcome lesson, seven strategy lessons, a closing lesson, and an 18-page downloadable workbook. The workbook includes practical exercises and a seven-day action plan to help you try the strategies and reflect on what works.
Learn at your own pace
This version contains written lessons and the workbook. You do not need to purchase the book to participate. Audio recordings and individual consultations are not included.
The course offers educational guidance that can be used alongside professional care. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions or recommend changes to medication. Different children may respond differently to the strategies.
Meet your Instructor-- Amir Jan
Hello, I’m Amir Jan, author of Raising Focused and Confident Kids—Without Medication.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education and have more than 30 years of experience in health and wellness. My work includes supporting elementary and junior high students with high needs, as well as teaching tennis to children and young people through lessons and summer camps.
I am a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, and Wellness & Lifestyle Coach.
My approach is shaped by both professional experience and my own childhood. After experiencing bullying, I rebuilt my confidence through competitive sport, caring mentors, and, above all, my mother’s love and support. Those experiences taught me how much it matters for a child to feel understood and believed in.
Through this course, I share practical ideas from my book to help parents and educators offer that same understanding, encouragement, and support.
