Capturing Kids’ Hearts is a process used by schools across the nation to build stronger relationships with students. The primary focus of CKH is to develop healthy relationships and teach effective skills that help students increase self-management, increase positive behaviors, reinforce emotional intelligence, increase classroom rapport, develop empathy, and increase motivation.
