Subject: [buddhistcommunitya lliance] Emotional Literacy workshop for children
To: buddhistcommunityal liance@yahoogrou ps.com
Hi everyone,
Children of all ages sometimes need help to understand and manage their emotions. The skills to identify and to cope with basic emotions such as anger, fear, grief and loss, and aloneness are learned as they mature. Usually circumstances are their teachers, and the outcomes are dependent on their level of maturity. Research shows that when children are taught coping skills they handle most aspects of life better, resulting in a positive self-image and higher self-esteem.
This workshop is designed to teach the techniques to manage those emotions and to transform them into peace, safety, joy and connectedness through expressive activities using sound, colours, gestures, clay and sensing. The workshop will be held over two sessions in groups of a maximum of 15 participants.
Healing emotions, rather than emotions being denied, repressed or excluded, is essential for inner peace. Give your child a chance to learn the techniques from a trained and experienced facilitator.
