Regulating Big Feelings & Little Bodies

This is a weekly group where children are carefully matched with peers who will encourage them to reach the next level of success together. All groups require an initial intake meeting (we call it a playdate!) to determine the best fit for your child. If you'd like your child to join one of our groups, please contact us to set up a playdate!

Children experience a wide range of feelings throughout development. These feelings can be difficult to navigate. We recognize that a child’s unique sensory profile plays an active role in emotional development. We will explore feelings and emotions through a variety of sensory experiences. We will move through big and small emotions as we provide each child with coping strategies while building confidence. We also recognize that each child’s unique sensory system plays a vital role in attention, regulation and academic skills. Often times, children have difficulty processing all the sensory input in their school, home or extracurricular environment leading to difficulty with attention, friendships and impulsivity. We will provide children ages 3-8 with the necessary tools for their unique sensory system to maintain a regulated state of arousal and actively participate in school and extracurricular activities. We run multiple regulation groups throughout the week. Each group is individualized to it’s members and will focus on improving your child’s sensory and emotional regulation, friendship skills, and attention!

Topics include:

Transitions
Friendship skills
Attention
Winning and losing
Impulsivity
Big and small emotions
Flexibility/rigidity
Sensory processing (under and over sensitive)
Regulation
Team work & collaboration

We have started running small groups in person, with lots of precautions in place! Therapists wear masks and shields, and we require the kids wear masks as well. Pick-up and drop-off is done curbside (and temperatures are taken!) and - as always - hands are washed before and after every session. All toys/equipment and surfaces are fully sanitized and disinfected between sessions. We can't wait to start playing again!
