Frequently Asked Questions

What is leadership training for kids? +
Leadership training for kids is a structured learning program that teaches children how to communicate effectively, collaborate with peers, and make confident, ethical choices. Unlike adult leadership training, this course focuses on age-appropriate skills such as listening, teamwork, goal-setting, and problem-solving. For children aged 9–14, it creates a foundation for confidence, independence, and the ability to guide others in school, at home, and in their communities.
What age group is this course designed for? +
The Leadership Skills for Kids course is created specifically for ages 9–14. This is an important developmental stage where children are curious, impressionable, and beginning to navigate more complex friendships, school projects, and activities. By introducing leadership concepts at this age, kids build resilience and confidence that will continue to grow throughout their teenage years and into adulthood.
Can my child complete the course independently? +
Yes. The course is self-paced and designed to be engaging for children without constant supervision. Interactive lessons, practical examples, and fun activities make it easy to follow. Parents are welcome to guide alongside if they want to reinforce learning at home, but kids can complete it independently and still gain meaningful results.
What skills will my child gain? +

By the end of the program, your child will:

  • Communicate with clarity and confidence
  • Work effectively in teams and practice inclusive leadership
  • Set goals and follow through with persistence
  • Solve problems using creative and structured approaches
  • Apply mindfulness to manage stress and stay focused
  • Develop a sense of responsibility for guiding themselves and others

These skills prepare them not only for academic success but also for healthy relationships and future career growth.

How does this course support SEL (Social Emotional Learning)? +

Leadership is deeply connected to social emotional learning. The course strengthens four core SEL areas:

  • Self-awareness-Recognizing strengths, areas for growth, and emotions
  • Self-management-Building discipline and focus to reach goals
  • Social awareness-Understanding others’ perspectives and practicing empathy
  • Responsible decision-making-Making thoughtful, ethical choices in group settings

By combining leadership with SEL, kids gain both emotional intelligence and practical strategies to step into leadership roles naturally.

Are there rewards or recognition for progress? +
Yes. The program uses digital badges to celebrate progress after each module. Kids earn badges like the Ember Ant (for starting with purpose and organization) and the Radiant Griffin (for turning ideas into results). These rewards keep kids motivated while showing them that leadership is a step-by-step journey, not something that happens overnight.
How to train your kid to be a leader? +
Training your child to be a leader is less about authority and more about teaching everyday habits that build confidence. Encourage them to take small responsibilities at home, let them contribute ideas during family decisions, and model problem-solving behavior yourself. This course complements what you do at home by giving structured practice in communication, decision-making, goal-setting, and teamwork. With guidance, children learn that leadership means listening, supporting others, and stepping up when needed.
What are the 5 E’s of leadership? +

The 5 E’s of leadership are Envision, Enable, Empower, Energize, and Execute. These principles are often used in leadership development programs to describe the journey of turning an idea into action:

  • Envision-Create a clear picture of the goal
  • Enable-Build the skills and resources needed to succeed
  • Empower-Encourage confidence and responsibility in yourself and others
  • Energize-Inspire motivation and teamwork
  • Execute-Follow through with commitment and results

In this course, children practice each of these steps through activities and challenges designed for their age group.

What is a leadership program for kids? +
A leadership program for kids is an educational pathway that builds skills such as communication, collaboration, decision-making, and empathy. Unlike standard academic subjects, leadership programs focus on character development and preparing children to navigate real-life situations. This Bloomster course is a leadership program built with social emotional learning in mind, so kids not only practice leading but also learn to manage emotions, respect others, and stay resilient when challenges arise.
What is the 30 Seconds Left leadership game? +
The “30 Seconds Left” leadership game is a classroom or group activity where children are given just 30 seconds to solve a problem, complete a task, or make a quick group decision. The game encourages quick thinking, communication under pressure, and teamwork. Activities like this are incorporated into leadership programs because they mirror real-life situations where leaders must make timely decisions. Our course uses similar fun, low-stress activities to help kids practice leadership in action.
