🎦Please be aware that keeping your video enabled is a requirement for this course. If temporary circumstances require that a student needs to attend a single meeting without video enabled, please contact me and I may make an exception. (Students will still be required to check in on video at the beginning of class as this is OS safety policy. 🎦

This class will consist of 13 lessons to help elementary-age children better understand and control their impulses. Activities/discussion may vary a bit depending on the number of students involved. That said, worksheets and drawing activities will commonly be used during this class. We will also practice impulse control through various activities. There will also be discussion questions posted in the classroom prior to the lesson.  We may discuss some of these in class. Others are helpful for parents to keep the discussion going with your student after class if you wish.

Examples include: 
What are some impulses that  kids have at home? In the classroom?
What are some examples of poor choices? What are possible consequences?
What are some ways that kids can calm down/relax?

 I will also post worksheets to the classroom that are additional resources/activities for students and parents. They will be posted to the classroom several days before each class. You can print these out and complete them if you like to reinforce and practiced concepts learned in class. We will review some of these during class, but they do not need to be completed before class (though they can be).

 💥💥Because a I usually allow parents to decide when new sections start and because many parents want to take every lesson in the course, the sections of this course are on different schedules.  Below is a link to my ongoing course schedule.

💵GENERAL REFUND POLICY:  When students miss a group class, they are able to watch a video of the missed class and are encouraged to contact me with any questions. As such, I typically do not give refunds for missed classes. Additionally, I keep my prices on the low end of (or below) what OS recommends.   I do have a far more lenient refund policy for 1:1 classes because there is no video to watch and because these courses are much more expensive.

I know that this is sometimes frustrating to families. That is not my goal. My goal is to keep my prices affordable overall.☺️
