“Integrating Emotional Well-Being and Self-Regulation Tools into Our WGM Programs”.

Understanding feelings can be a complex task for adults, and even more so for children. Imagine the incredible impact we can make by guiding them through this journey with simple activities and engaging books. We invite you to join us in exploring how these tools can empower children to develop emotional awareness, enhance communication skills, self-regulation, foster empathy, and build strong social connections.  This event is free, but registration is required.
