🌟 Big feelings can be hard for little people. 🌟

That’s why, beginning June 18, we’re excited to offer Little Feelings, Big Skills, a fun and interactive 6-week group designed for children ages 5–6!

Through games, activities, creativity, and play, children will learn:
❤️ How to identify and express feelings
💛 Listening and teamwork skills
💚 Positive ways to handle frustration and big emotions
💙 Friendship and social skills
💜 Calming strategies they can use every day

Building emotional skills early can help children feel more confident, connected, and successful at home, school, and with friends.

📅 Thursdays at 1:00 PM
⏰ 60-minute sessions
💲 $10 per session
📍 Tennessee Valley Pediatrics Behavioral Health Clinic

Space is limited, so reserve your child’s spot today!
