The Let Grow Experience helps educators and parents work together to give kids the crucial dose of independence necessary to become confident, capable, and resilient. The program’s wide variety of choices provides out of school opportunities for students  to strengthen their executive functioning capabilities and deepen their social skills

Simply by experiencing some independence, students find themselves engaged, excited and curious. They analyze situations, evaluate consequences, and discover how resourceful they really are. Everyone sees the change: Educators, parents, the kids themselves. Independence leads to new problem-solving, resilience—and joy.

Engage students in activities that promote lifelong learning and self-discovery.

• Promote self-reliance and independence

• Reduce dependency on adults

• Develop students’ sense of self-confidence

• Reduce student anxiety

• Develop interpersonal skills

• Develop self-regulation

• Foster maturity

• Promote an understanding of internal locus of control

• Promote the development of executive functioning skills

The Let Grow Experience provides opportunities to succeed—and fail a bit— giving students the chance to identify strengths, build self-confidence, and cultivate a growth mindset, not only for students but also for their parents. Varying emotions will come up, each one a learning opportunity. Experience is a great way to figure out interests and find a passion. 

The strength of a person’s social awareness  is demonstrated through their words  and actions, especially in spontaneous  situations. Let Grow activities can be powerful  opportunities to develop their social  awareness capacity through their participation  in activities that expose them to all kinds of  diversity and that help others.

Trying something new on your own can be stressful. Let Grow activities require goal setting and self-motivation and can put children in new situations that create opportunities for impulse control and stress management.

The Let Grow Experience fosters the development of relationship skills in an  environment closer to the real world, in  the out-of-school contexts of kids’ independence activities.  Kids communicate, cooperate and negotiate with constantly shifting groups of multiple ages, creating their own rules and handling conflicts. Activities that involve public places often require impromptu communication 

with strangers. What’s better for relationships than building them in real life?

Let Grow activities are to be done without  adult help, which means that children have the opportunity to analyze situations, identify and solve problems, and evaluate consequences for themselves in real-life, not just hypothetical situations.
