Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of feelings and how to label them. They will practice mindfulness techniques and learn to calm themselves before they flip their lid. Each day, students will add to their emotional intelligence tool box. Students do best if they are comfortable sharing in a large group, but it is never required.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some students may choose to share scenarios that they relate to--such as situations that make them want to flip their lid. Sharing personal examples is purely optional as we can create fictional scenarios to problem-solve.
This class does not provide medical advice or counseling. We stick to well-researched topics and teach from a science based perspective. Communication and emotion coaching methods based on the research of John Gottman. Mindset and neuroscience lessons based on the work of Carol Dweck and her Brainology course.

Washington Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am offering this class as a teen version of the adult class I am teaching for my business, SOUND Relationships. I believe that learning life skills is the number one way to improve relationships and build self-esteem. I'm a certified teacher and have training in the Gottman Method. I have personally taken the theories Gottman applies to couples and made my own curriculum that teaches children and parents valuable skills to strengthen their families. I have used these concepts in my own family and in my marriage of 24 years. They work! Reviews
