Turn Your Thoughts into Your Superpower: 4-H Cloverbud Workshop Series
Surfing the Emotion Ocean: Mood management | Feb. 11 | Naperville
Research has shown that mindfulness techniques can help youth learn to manage stress more effectively and increase their sense of self-worth. Join us for one or more parts of our hands-on workshop series designed for youth ages 5 to 8.
In this session, youth will learn how being mindful of their own thinking can give them the superpower of regulating their emotions. Learning techniques to manage their emotions can help youth to understand their feelings and relate better to others. Youth will practice identifying and discussing their emotions and will receive materials to continue to practice at home.
