In this weekly class, your child will learn how to practice gratitude and will develop the tools they need to have more confidence, emotional intelligence, and resilience. The class is tailored for young children ages 4 to 7 and is designed to nurture self-esteem and foster a positive mindset. Children will learn to appreciate themselves, appreciate what they have, and build stronger, more empathetic relationships with those around them. Teaching young children about gratitude is crucial for their emotional and social development. Research shows that children who practice gratitude are happier, more empathetic, and more connected to the world around them. I am focused on creating a nurturing environment in my class, where children can feel comfortable exploring their strengths and building their self-esteem. My teaching style is patient, attentive, and encouraging, making sure that children feel supported along the way. I also purposely keep the class size small, limited to up to 5 students, so that each child gets the attention they need in class. I make sure the class experience is fun and dynamic by incorporating interactive games, playful activities, creative projects, and movement into each class. Through these engaging exercises, I help children identify and appreciate the positive aspects of their lives and encourage children to focus on what they are grateful for, thereby reinforcing a positive outlook. We also explore different positive affirmations each week, such as "I am brave", "I am kind," and "I am loved," and engage in creative activities that help children internalize these positive messages and boost their self-esteem. Children will be prompted to reflect on their unique qualities and will gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for their value and strengths. I can't wait to meet your child and help them start their gratitude journey! ~ Ms. Madeleine
