Being mindful when out in nature is an awareness. It is about deepening our connections, relationships, and responsibilities when we are out in the natural world. Introducing our children to, and building respect for, the environment we share with all living and non-living things.
Self-regulation is tough and requires a lot of learning for our children to become proficient in. Emotion coaching helps children self-regulate by helping identify, understand, and manage their emotions in a healthy way. It focuses on validating their feelings, even the challenging ones, and guiding them towards constructive coping strategies.
Puppets provide a safe space for children to express themselves and explore various aspects of their thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Incorporating puppets into music sessions, storytelling, and puppet shows is an excellent way to enhance social and emotional skills.
