The preteen phase of life is a new experience of emotions. Preteens can get overwhelmed with sudden intense emotions and not know how to handle them. In this class, I will teach how to handle the intense emotions of anger, sadness, and anxiety. We will also discuss emotions such as jealousy, feeling left out, confusion, guilt, and shame. In each meeting, we will practice accepting emotions, learning from emotions, and managing emotions. Tools that will be taught include: writing out emotions, meditation, HeartMath techniques, using creativity to work through emotions, and more. **Please note that if your child doesn't make it to a class, there are no refunds.
