At the end of each class, the teacher will direct the students to keep talking about their feelings with the trusted grown-ups around them and also use the strategies taught in each class, when necessary. Week 5: Parents and children can make together the child's worry box and include objects that resemble the child's worries. Once the worry is contained in the box, it shouldn't overwhelm the child anymore. Parents and children can get the box when the child is worried about something and talk about their worries. Week 6 class will encourage students to create a calm space in their own house/room. Teacher will not assess this suggested homework. Week 8 class will encourage the children to make an outline of their own body with a trusted adult and talk about the ways their own emotions are felt in their own bodies. Teacher will not assess this suggested homework.Certificate of Completion

→ No Prior Experience Required: Kids don’t need prior knowledge of mindfulness or mindset strategies. These techniques will be taught step-by-step, making them accessible to all learners.
→ For All Kids: This class supports social-emotional development for all children, not just those struggling with emotions.
→ General Discussions: Class discussions are based on broad examples (e.g., "What could make a child angry at lunchtime?") rather than personal experiences.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 - Tame your Angry Dragon
