Confident Kids is a nation-wide organization of
Christian support group programs for children and their families, founded in
1990 by
Linda Kondracki Sibley, who is a children's pastor in
Southern California. All the groups use a common
curriculum developed by Sibley. Because, according to the organization's
website, "growing up in America today is not easy", Confident Kids is designed to provide a positive, nurturing space for children "struggling with highly stressful issues such as
divorce,
stepfamilies,
alcoholic parents, and a host of other issues". Using a synthesis of modern
psychology and Christian
spirituality, the programs seek to build children's
self-esteem and provide them with the necessary tools to cope with their
emotions and
stress. Concurrent programs for parents/adult family members are focused on improving the situation at home.
