Description:

Being a kid is hard sometimes, and navigating big feelings and friendships can be overwhelming. In this class, students will learn how to manage their big feels through different modes of learning such as art, games, play, and discussion. They’ll learn how to understand and put words to what they’re feeling and how to calm themselves down before their feelings explode. We’ll learn how to be mindful of the “engines” that drive our bodies and learn what to do when their engine is running too fast or too slow. We’ll practice making friends, showing empathy, and using words to avoid conflict. Kids will get the opportunity to do activities in small groups. This will help the students build friendships within the class and learn skills they can use in any social situation. Kids will be encouraged to embrace who God created them to be, and to embrace others as God created them.
