In this class, I will work with girls to help them have the confidence to make friends. They will be taught how to initiate a conversation, how to play with other girls and even ideas of what to play! They will learn how to be confident in their interactions. I used to be the shy kid in class, and over the years I have learned the skills necessary to build relationships with others. I connect with each individual child in the class to make sure they are learning and engaging with the material. I want your child to have the skills and confidence they need to reach out to others. I am silly and like to make learning new skills fun (so that the kids have fun too)! This is an interactive class, please make sure your learner keeps the camera on during the entire class.
