In this 1 to 1, each Private class will have a unique topic and activity based on your child's needs. I encourage you to reach out to me after booking and let me know a little bit about your student. My classes are skills based and taught using fun activities that will get your learner thinking and self reflecting about their behavior in a whole new way.  I make my own handouts, power points, games, and art inspired worksheets that help foster understanding and application of these Social Emotional skills. My teaching style is using compassion, empathy and a little humor to meet your learner where they are. I will meet 1 : 1 with your child in a private zoom so they will get my individual attention. Please see my list of topics for potential classes...

My Emotions & Feelings: What's the difference?: This class discusses the difference between identifying what is the difference between a feeling and emotion and identifying their own feelings. The goal is for students to be able to identify the relationship between how we feel and how it affects our behavior and what our thoughts have to do with it all. 

What is Empathy? : The goal for this class is for students to be able to define Empathy and give real life examples of how to show empathy to others and why it matters. We will cover how being empathetic can help in our relationships and during conflict. 

Worries and More!: This class is to discuss what the flight or fight system is and what we feel in our body when this automatic system engages. This class will cover the physiological responses our bodies can feel when we are worried or anxious.

What's a Value? : This class will define what Values. Students will identify what their own Values are and learn how values can affect our behavior. 

Boundaries & More: Students will learn what a boundary is, what their own boundaries are and how we can keep are boundaries safe.

Below is an example of an outline for a Positive self class: 

Estimated Outline for your child’s 1:1 on May 6th at 7:00 pm-7:30 pm

 (times are estimates only and this is used as a guideline)

*7:00pm-7:05 — Brief Introductions Tell me a little about yourself- Allows for your student to tell me a few things about them and I can introduce myself to them. I usually will do a few ice breakers like Would you rathers’ or What if’s that can be fun to break the nerves.

*7:05 pm-7:15 (Activity #1)- Handout on 5 Whys- This activity helps us understand the “root” cause of some of our negative thoughts and why it is important and helpful to identify this. By asking ourselves “Why” 5 times we can understand if this thought is based on fact or fiction (real or fake). 

*7:15 pm- 7:28pm(Activity #2) - Negative Thoughts into Positive Phrases- Introducing the concept of negative self-talk and its impact on our moods. We will go over this together and learn how to reframe some negative thoughts. 

*7:28 pm-7:30pmWrap up for Today/ Questions! (Sometimes we can go over 2-3 minutes if there are specific questions. Students will always get to ask a wrap up question)
