Here’s what Parents are saying:

• “It takes an act of God to get us here every week.  It’s worth it.”
  
  
•  “My only regret is that I didn’t take the class sooner.”
  
  
• “I think I use it [the tools provided] as much or more than my child.”
  
  
•  “I thought my child’s strong emotions were a behavior issue. This class helped my child to open up.  We are much closer and addressing the feelings is more of a game than a burden.  Thank you!” 
  
  
•   “I’ve signed my child up for a lot of classes.  Fairytales and Feelings is the only one that he really enjoyed and actually learned something of value.  Sign us up again!”
  
  
• “I thought this class was just for children who had problems. This class applies to everybody’s problems.  Everyone should take this class.”
  
  
•  “It’s much better to work on feelings in a fun class than to just deal with them in the middle of a crisis, or, as I like to put it, at the bottom of a cliff.”
  
  
• “I will take your class whenever you have it.  This work is so important.”

What children are saying:

•  “I did it!  I was grumpy and, then I changed my mind!” [Taking charge of a grumpy mood].
  
  
• “Mom, I think I’m jealous! So, I’m just going to have fun, and try not to think about feeling jealous.” [A student who initially declined a birthday party invitation].
  
  
• “I’m the boss of how I feel, not you.” [Spoken to an antagonistic playmate].
  
  
• “I’m having Feelings!!!” [A child asking a parent for help].
  
  
• “I have a lot more ways to clean up my room.” [Creating optimism and fun in the face of challenges].
