At the conclusion of the class, students are encouraged to complete a worksheet titled "My Plan." The instructions for this task are provided alongside the assignment.Class Experience
NO LIVE CLASSES In this class we will talk about BIG feelings. Young adults can find it hard to put their emotions into words. Through different exercises we will learn ways to express our big feelings to those around us. If your learners is not an avid communicator, gets frustrated by lifeโs everyday stressors or gets angry when unable to find the right words to explain how they are feeling, this class can help. I teach in a calm, low pressure setting so children feel comfortable trying different techniques, such as visualization, drawing and using their imagination to calm themselves when they get frustrated. Class #1 Disappointments and not getting our way. Class #2 Positive talk Class #3 Everyday stressors Class #4 BIG feelings, getting control by communicating. Bring your ideas, your dreams of being the next great character developer and we will encourage each other along the way. I will post questions, videos and games to keep students engaged in the class. Learners can post their answers and comments on the classroom page for us to get to know each other and learn together. The videos are shorter than a live class. Your child is welcome to pause, rewatch and take notes. Since this is not a live class with interaction, all of the information can be presented in a shorter time frame. Thus making it more informative and easier for students to sit through.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Iowa State University
I have a bachelors degree in child and family. I have extensive experience with developmentally challenged children and young adults. This is not a therapy class, it is to teach children ways to express feelings.
What does our voice sound like if we are angry?
The questions and conversations I will be having with the students will not be specifically guided from their personal issues. I give broad statements such as:
If your sibling takes your favorite toy here are two things you can try. First we use our word: please give it back. Second we ask mom or dad to help.
