This Wednesday! Information on how to register below

This week the Grade 1s are finishing up - The Worry Woo program online. Although online learning is not our favourite either, we need to acknowledge that this is out of our control, remind us that it’s not permanent and give ourselves the space and permission to work though those tough feelings.

Sign up for the Move Your Mood Family Challenge. Anyone can sign up, families, individuals, couples, a group of friends. You will track you activity hours while... participating in various activities that move your body, fuel your body, mindfulness, build assets. Prizes to be won and lots of fun. See more

Hello everyone! This book is a good introduction to feelings and emotions. The author noted that the book was designed to give children the language for their emotions and the hope was that with language, children will be better equipped to understand and express their feelings. My suggestion would be to listen to the book once in its entirety and then if you would like to open up some discussion with your children about the different emotions, you could pause the video afte...r each emotion and discuss the following topics: 1. Ask your child what circumstances make him or her feel happy, sad, jealous, and so on. 2. Discuss how to deal with each emotion. (For example, If you are sad, tell someone how you feel and communicate what you need.) 3. Practice noticing and naming feelings by asking your child how he/she feels at different times throughout the day. Discuss the differences in emotions that may seem similar, such as sad and bored, or jealous and mad, or happy and excited. Hope you enjoy!
