Laugh and Learn With Lauren: Intro to Character Development

My teaching style is fun, upbeat and informative. I believe that we all learn best through play, especially our kids. Although we have fun and there is a lot of interaction (games, art, singing or the like), they will also learn priceless life skills that will increase their mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and build character.  This is an ongoing series with a different topic covered in each class. You may join in on any class, there is no necessary sequential order and the series will repeat after all classes are done- so you can catch any you may have missed! **Please note the dates and section topic below to make sure you attend the classes you want- there are 8 topics total offered on consecutive Tuesdays, consecutive Wednesdays, or consecutive Thursdays.**

Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence is on of the most important things your children can learn to set them up for a life of success with themselves, other people, careers, and more. Character education involves teaching children about basic human values including honesty, kindness, generosity, courage, freedom, equality and respect. The goal of SEL (social emotional learning) is to raise children to become morally responsible, self-disciplined citizens with the ability to problem solve, have sound decision making, and conflict resolution as important parts of their moral character. Through role playing and discussions, children can see that their decisions affect other people and things. Social Emotional Intelligence is incorporated into some school systems, but it is not taught individually or as a specific class. I developed Laugh and Learn with Lauren to fill this void and help your children gain priceless skills.

This is a multi-topic series teaching mindfulness and emotional intelligence/character development.
