Mindfulness is being aware of thoughts, feelings, and sensations that are happening around you at the present time. In children, mindfulness provides many benefits including helping them focus their attention and calm down when anxious. Join Terri McNeely, MEd, BS, of The Child & Family Counseling Center of Westlake, in this interactive session as she teaches caregivers and children ways to calm themselves and become more mindful. She will lead attendees through exercises that can be practiced every day to increase attention and focus, and to better regulate emotions.
Elementary Experiences are hands-on training programs designed for families and their children (ages 7-12 years) who are struggling. Families will learn targeted skills together and receive a handout with ideas and resources to use at home. Adults are expected to participate in the program with their children. Siblings (ages 7-12 years) may also attend, but must register separately. These programs are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Register through the CFK website (connectingforkids.org/register), by email ([email protected]), or via phone/text (440-570-5908).
