The reason for sending Aliah was manifold. One was to allow her to find her self-worth, gain confidence, and be motivated to strive to improve herself. By saying that I did not think she never wanted to improve herself but finding out about yourself, what you value, exposed to other kids, I figured, would do her a lot of good.
Munirah had gone to SuperCamp when she was 14 and I thought that did wonders for her considering she worked hard to get her PMR 6As.
One of the key take always from SuperCamp was the 8 Keys of Excellence. For Aliah the one that resonates the most with her was Speak With Good Purpose. I think it dawned upon her now that most of the time she reacts (nastily I might say) to her siblings and to her parents!!!
Bobbi dePorter developed the 8 Keys of Excellence more than 25 years ago as a character education tool and now is being used worldwide in SuperCamp programs across the globe.
Applies to us adults too!
