Young children are growing and fidgety and often still learning how to have self-control and anger management. They need to be taught boundaries and healthy expression of emotion so they can communicate in effective ways that will help their relationships at home and outside of the home. Kids In Control helps children learn to be in control of their thoughts, actions, bodies, words, and emotions. Meeting for one hour weekly, the program talks about expressing anger, setting and keeping healthy boundaries, and learning how to work together with others cooperatively using healthy communication and conflict resolution skills such as the Sandwich Method, helpful thinking and phrasing, the Twenty-Second rule and other effective tools. A variety of materials will be used including the Bible, Boundaries with Kids, What to Do When Your Temper Flares, Skills Training for Children with Behavior… and more. This ongoing support group will facilitate learning through group discussion, activity, arts and crafts and games. An adult exercise program will be held during this group so the parents may take a break. See our calendar to find out when we meet.
