Feel, Dance, Play: Tune-In Turn-Up for Tots (Guppies - Self Regulation Level 1)

Get ready to Tune Into your feelings & Turn Up the music!

In our high energy classes we sing, dance & play our way through Social Emotional Learning (SEL). In each class we: 

-start with a warm up stretch/meet & greet
-play follow the leader to learn a series of dance moves
-play fun games from my Problem Solving (made easy) Kit 
-for the grande finale we put it all together with an epic dance party, puppet play & cool down!  

I use music that encourages children to be interactive via call & response, guided breathing and movements. The positive affirmation songs I've created teach the 7 steps of the Problem Solving Game, making it easy for kids to learn.


The topics we cover in the Guppies Level 1 Problem Solvers series are based on the first 4 (of 7) steps of the Problem Solving Game:

1. Life: I am Safe "Uh-Oh, We Have a Problem."

2. Freedom: I Feel "What am I Feeling?"

3. Strength: I Take Action "Ready to Solve."

4. Respect: I Love "What Will Make us Both Happy?"


Every week includes:
-1 interactive Feel, Dance, Play video class 
-Each class builds on the next, getting your child the repetition they need to strengthen their skills.
-We make it easy & fun 
-We learn how to use the Problem Solving Game which is the backbone of getting your kids to stop the tantrums & fighting

**SPECIAL BONUS** Just for signing up you will get your own printable copy of the Problem Solving (made easy) Game board to use in class.

So if you're tired of meltdowns, arguments & fights over toys you'll be happy to hear in our classes I use the Top 3 Secrets to Create More Calm in Your Home.
I've learned these secrets teaching dance, music & yoga to young children for over 10 years as an Early Childhood Education Education & Arts Specialist, they are:


#1 The importance of Social Emotional Learning
#2 Teaching children via songs, games & repetition (ie FUN) to fast-track learning
#3 Make it easy!


DID YOU KNOW: learning social emotional skills by the age of 6 is the biggest contributing factor to adult success.
There’s a 20 year study that shows the biggest factor to adult success can be attributed to one thing by the age of 6: their social emotional skills. 
Can children regulate their emotions? 
Can they solve problems with other children? 
Do they understand their feelings? 

I teach these skills through Heartfullness. Heartfullness is the missing piece in “mindfulness”. By letting love lead the way, heartfullness connects the mind & body (mindfulness) to the heart (emotions).

Mind + Body = Mindfulness 

Heart + Mind + Body = Heartfullness



OPTIONAL SUPPLIES
You are welcome to break out the scarves, streamers & dance clothes but they are not required. You're also able to get the Problem Solving (made easy) Kit we use in class. The kit is is a game that helps parents, caregivers & educators teach children how to get from Crisis2Calm via emotional regulation.



SOCIAL EMOTIONAL GAME PLAY EXAMPLES:
In class we play with my Feelings Card Deck, a 25 card deck showing a range of emotions from simple to more complex. There are a few games that can be played with the card deck, for example: "Guess the Feeling" I hold up a card & the children guess the feeling. 
In Puppet Play Time, I use a puppet to help play our "What Are You Feeling?" game. I spread out a selection of feelings from the card deck & each child gets a turn to pick 1 feeling they are feeling today. The goal of playing games from the card deck is to get children to understand & name different feelings, then be able to express them. 


I can't wait to see you in class!
