Understanding & Managing Emotions: Private Class

Do you ever feel brave, impatient, ecstatic, or relaxed? We all struggle to know how we feel at times. When we say we feel “fine” or “ok” we miss out on essential emotional information that can help us navigate the world. Emotion scientists approach emotions with questions rather than judgments. They are ready to identify and understand their feelings and manage them confidently. Research has shown that the better kids can understand and communicate their feelings, the more successful they are socially and academically. This class is a fun and interactive exploration of emotions. We will learn to ask questions and use tools to help make feelings work to our advantage. 

This private class is an adaptation of my Emotion Scientist class. Each lesson is adapted to the developmental level and needs of the learner. Contact me for other scheduled times or other social-emotional topics.
