Inside out

Inside Out is a six week course that helps to build emotional resilience in children.  The course was written by Kay and Lynette as a tool to help and strengthen children with the challenges that they face in everyday life.  Six children of a similar age group do the course together.

The course runs for 6 consecutive weeks.  Each session is an hour and a half.  During the session we have a teaching time that covers whatever topic we are dealing with that week, a craft time – we make a craft that links with our theme, and a feedback time.  There is follow up work to be done at home each week, but whether it is done or not is up to the parents and children.

The topics covered are:

• I am valuable
• Emotions
• Choices – I choose to respond instead of react
• Harmful words and hurtful words and what to do with them
• Building strong foundations
• Remember who I am.

We have run several courses so far, and have had positive feedback from children and parents.  All children are welcome, whether they are part of our fellowship or not.    Please contact the church office for more details.
