When your child is in a bad mood, could it have something to do with his/her thinking? Chances are YES! 
How our kids think about what is going on around them has an impact on their behaviors. When kids have unhelpful thinking, it can look like arguing, whining, withdrawal, or just plain mean behaviors. But what if your child knew how to catch his/her thoughts and flip them around to create more positive, respectful ways of interacting? Kids who understand how to direct their thinking are better prepared to thrive in life and overcome challenges. 

Developing healthy thinking habits (such as flexible thinking & optimism) is one of the core skills in building a child's resilience. Resilience is the thing that equips kids to navigate the complicated and stressful world and still be able to take advantage of the opportunities available to reach their goals and dreams.

In this class, students get to practice using specific strategies to cultivate healthy thinking habits in a fun, engaging way. This is a key aspect of their social-emotional learning. Students have the opportunity to address and challenge the "stinkin' thinkin'" that holds them back, as well as build helpful thinking habits and positive self-talk. Students may contribute their ideas to the class conversation and interactive games, or they may choose to observe and reflect using printouts at home.
