Class Experience

Calling all dragon fans!  

Feeling angry?  We all get angry!  In this one-time class, students will learn about how their anger impacts them, and practice techniques designed to bring a feeling of peace and tranquility to their lives.  This class is perfect for those who are ready to learn the basics of guided relaxation in a fun, interactive way.  No prior knowledge is needed, just a desire to relax!

Students will first discuss the definitions of anger with guidance from the teacher.  Sensitive topics will be avoided-only general definitions will be discussed. We will then discuss the purpose and benefits of anger, as well as the physiological manifestations of anger.  Next, we will learn and practice a deep breathing technique called "Dragon Breathing" that will help students calm down when angry.  Next, students will participate in a guided relaxation activity using visualization and dragon themes from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon."  Afterword, students will each have a chance to share how they visualized their "anger dragons."  Students will then learn the 3 steps to controlling one's anger effectively.  

Finally, students will have the opportunity to provide the teacher feedback and ask any questions about the relaxation exercise. 

*Please note that this class is not intended to provide therapy.

Hello all learners and parents!  My name is Mandy and I teach classes designed to help children reduce stress and anxiety.  I have 16 years of experience using techniques that are research-based and proven to aid in mind/body relaxation.  My goal is to help children learn to cope with and manage anxiety through techniques they can use throughout their lives.

My academic background is in Clinical Psychology.  I have both a B.S. and M.S. in Clinical Psychology and have 20 years of experience working with youth.  I have worked in a therapeutic setting since 2004, teaching social skills groups, relaxation exercises, art therapy, and play therapy sessions.  As a psychometrist, I have extensive experience administering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations and cognitive rehabilitation assessments, including vision therapy and neurofeedback, with children and adolescents.  I have worked with a wide range of diagnoses (ADHD, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, Autism, Dyslexia, behavior disorders, etc.), ages (age 2 to adult), and intellectual levels (severely delayed to gifted). 

During my time on Outschool, I have taught over 10,000 students, and have been blessed to meet so many learners from different cultures and walks of life. I have also frequently worked with neurodiverse learners both on Outschool and in private practice. My goal as a teacher is to meet students where they are at, as well as celebrate their differences! I will always teach one student classes, so that parents do not have to worry about cancellations.
