Moo-vers and Shakers 6-9 year olds: Little Chatterbox Group
Roar like a Lion, squeak like a mouse as we use animals as metaphor to gain a deeper understanding of our internal feelings.

Your child will be introduced to the following skills to add to their toolbox:
• Understanding of the difference between emotions, feelings and behaviours

• Grounding techniques
ALL of this whilst having fun!
