We are teaming up with two amazing businesses in Arizona to provide a 6-week parent-child course on Embracing Our Emotions. In this 6-week course we will be talking about our feelings of sadness, anger, fear/worry, envy, and joy through sensory play and crafts to help children process these feelings as well as learn healthy ways of expressing and managing these feelings with caregiver support. Classes will be 50 minutes and include guided instruction from a tenured marriage and family therapist on the activity and engaging the children in identifying and understanding emotions. Parents will be expected to engage with their children in this hands-on activity and support children in their engagement. The children will take home their crafts and supplies needed to continue developing this skill at home. The therapist will also provide each parent with a handout on how to continue supporting their child in understanding, expressing, and coping with these emotions at home.​

 

To register for classes (Tuesdays at 9am) at The Kids Cave in Peoria choose from a single class or purchase the 6-week course for savings. Admission to this class includes 1-hour of play at The Kids Cave before class begins at 10am. The Kids Cave will be open only to this private class from 9-11am on Tuesdays, so take advantage of making friends for your child and yourself!
