Social skills group for tween girls, aged 9-12. The goals for this 4 week group will be:
- to develop a better understanding of cooperation and put it into practice with various teamwork activities
- to develop deeper compassion and empathy for others, no matter our differences; understanding the effects of bullying, gossip and lying and effective ways to combat these issues
- to develop a better understanding of friendship and personal expectations of others
- to develop a broader understanding of personal feelings so that we can communicate and respond to others more appropriately.
We will also address some practical expectations for entering middle school.
