Here’s what parents are saying:

“All I can say is, WOW. We loved your class. It gave us so many great strategies. We talk about what we learned in your class all the time and have our crafts around the kitchen as good reminders when we are not feeling good…Thanks for giving us such an amazing experience.”

“It takes an act of God to get us here [to the class] 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].
