Join us this January and February for an adventure of understanding emotions and change with the Kalyna Family Resource Network (FRN) - Vegreville and Area. We will be exploring various emotions in programs through stories, lessons, activities, and crafts. Understanding and managing emotions is a crucial skill for all individuals. It impacts our well-being and plays a significant role in shaping emotional development of children. 1. Recognizing Feelings: Knowing about our feelings and how to handle them can really help. When we understand our feelings, it's a special power that helps us grow in a safe way. 2. Expressing our Feelings: Telling others how we feel is super important for communication. When families talk openly and honestly, it helps everyone trust and understand each other. Kids who see others talking about their feelings can learn to talk about their own feelings too. 3. Embracing Change: Life has lots of changes, and that's okay! If we see changes as chances to learn and grow, it helps us be resilient. When kids are okay with changes, it helps them build resilience to handle challenges. 4. Persevering Through Tough Times: Sometimes things get hard, and that's when having positive coping strategies is important. Whether it's stress, things not going the way we want, or when things feel unsure, knowing how to cope in a positive way helps. 5. Understanding Feelings: Kids who are good at understanding and dealing with their emotions are emotional superheroes! Understanding what we feel, why, and figuring out how to handle it is part of expressing emotion. When practiced, it helps children make friends and deal with all the different events in life.
