ToolBox For Families
Toolbox supports our children's social emotional development.
Teaches children how to ...
Realize their innate goodness & intrinsic wholeness
Belong & contribute their uniqueness
Achieve emotional balance and emotional intelligence [in 3-5 seconds]
Be proactive rather than reactive
Organize and understand their internal experiences [self-knowing]
Care for themselves and experience empathy for others
Understand and make sense of what is going on around them
Find their voice and speak up
Listen to their inner voice non-judgmentally and make fair self-assessments
Let the little things go
Use time wisely
Be grateful and give thanks from a place of authenticity
Be forgiving when it is time
Apologize when aware of harming others
Understand the value and intelligence of patience
Be courageous when others are not using their Tools
