協力とチームワーク！

In this interactive class we will talk about what it means to Cooperate, how to work together as a team member and what it means to be congenial.  

Kids know the basic ideas of kindness - they understand how it feels when someone is kind to them, or when someone is unkind.  They understand The Golden Rule.  They know about sharing and cooperating.  They know about being helpful and being hurtful, about honesty and about unkind words.  These are situations that they face on a daily basis – just as adults do!  As they grow, their experiences and personal relationships change and grow too as it relates to Cooperation and being Congenial.  They do not consider "Plays well with others" to reflect their more mature level of friendships... but it is a Life Skill, necessary to revisit and reinforce.

More than intelligence or IQ, EQ reflects Emotional intelligence – a measure of empathy and the ability to understand and connect with others.  Empathy is the KEY ingredient to Emotional Intelligence, and is the BEST predictor of a child's likely success in school and in in life!  

We will learn about the amygdala – the feeling center of the brain, and how it learns with every experience, by how you process everything!  We will talk about how to train your brain and establish new habits by practicing new skills!

We will also talk about the importance of LISTENING, not just "hearing" as we need to gather the information necessary to work as a team player!  We will talk about paying attention :) so that we don't miss any important details!
