Love Sonic and his friends? Feeling scared or anxious? Then this class is perfect for you! In this one-time class, students will learn about how their worries and fears impact 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 are welcome to bring their favorite Sonic characters to class. We will begin the class with some fun Tails' trivia questions as an ice breaker. Then the students will discuss the definitions, similarities, and differences of fear and anxiety with guidance from the teacher. They will also learn how fear/worry can be beneficial, as well as a hindrance. We will discuss the difference between "actual" and "pretend" fears. Sensitive and/or potentially triggering topics will be avoided-only general definitions will be discussed. Next, we will discuss how Tails has fears of his own, especially his fear of lightning/storms. I will then explain how learning more about the things that we fear (e.g., learning more about the physics of lightning if scared of lightning) can be an effective technique to reduce fears. Next, I will introduce the concepts of "worry paths" and "calm brain vs. nervous brain," and how these can apply to our own worries and fears. Students will participate in a guided relaxation activity using Sonic and Tails themes. Finally, students will have the opportunity to provide the teacher feedback and ask any questions about the relaxation exercise. My teaching style is inclusive and highly interactive. I always allow time for students to ask questions, as well as being mindful of those who do not wish to participate. *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 big emotions such as anger, stress, and anxiety. I have 17 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 emotions 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, 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.
