What's included
1 live meeting
40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this class you will find a step-by-step guide on how to use positive visualization techniques to refocus and calm ourselves down. We will work on teaching your child to journal their feelings. By writing, drawing and following the steps in this book, it helps children learn to refocus before they have outbursts, raise their voices or say things they should not be saying. Using visualization techniques takes practice and that is exactly what we are going to learn. I give many different ideas, situations and techniques because I know what will work for one child, may not work for another. Also available in flex version. When saying take a deep breath does not work! By finding what has NOT worked for you, we can focus on what new direction to take. Let's talk about what brings positivity to your life. In this class we will begin our 1,2,3,4,5, series of visualization techniques! We don't always have a calm space, toys or activities with us to calm us down. Here is where we learn what we always have access to! What is the most amazing thing you could wish for? There is a reason I am asking, it is part of our journey! Now that we know all of the steps to the process, we are moving onto to other options to try. It is always best to have more than one way to calm ourselves down. Here are some examples to help you.
