This class provides children with an opportunity to understand the connection between sensations and feelings so that they can have more success figuring out what they need. As they develop an awareness of what their bodies are telling them, children learn to tune into and trust their bodies, which is a gift that will benefit them throughout their entire lives. Children are also introduced to the concept that color can help us describe how we are feeling.

Using a playful approach to exploring their inner voices, this class helps children recognize their Inner Critic and Inner Champion. Through separate guided visualizations, children meet their inner voices one at a time. Drawing pictures of them, giving them names, and creating scenarios of how their Inner Champion can stand up to, and silence their Inner Critic are some of the playful ways children develop tools to quiet their negative self-talk.

An affirmation is something positive we say about ourselves, and it makes us feel good about who we are. With practice, tools learned in this class can cause spontaneous eruptions of smiles, joyful giggles, and compassion for others who may be experiencing low self-esteem. I Can Do Hard Things: Mindful Affirmations for Kids (Garcia) introduces children to the practice of tuning into their quiet voice inside and using mindful affirmations to support them in navigating hard situations whenever they arise.

Participants in this workshop learn ten breathing techniques that can be utilized for self-regulation when they are faced with challenges that may seem overwhelming. As each breath is introduced, it is described as a "calming" breath or an "energizing" breath. Calming breaths may be used as a tool when a child is feeling anxious, angry, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Energizing breaths may be used when a child is feeling sluggish or tired and they want to increase their energy level.

This workshop reminds us of the importance of being friends to ourselves! We will explore the universal themes of friendship, empathy and self-acceptance. Worksheets in this class explore how each of us may have an easy time displaying those qualities on behalf of others, but often fall short when we need them for ourselves. This class is for remembering ways we can be a better friend to ourselves, and we naturally become good friends to others in the process!

Children will make a journal, then spend time utilizing their senses of sight, hearing, and smell. As they practice these tools, they can more readily return to the moment and more immediately connect with themselves and others. We can bring this practice with us everywhere—into the waiting room at the dentist’s office, in the car or on a plane. This module is wonderful for assisting children in dealing with anxiety, stress, frustration, and a myriad of other emotions.
