Online Social Thinking Skills Group

Children ages 7-9
Mondays 4:30-5:30pm
Sept 14 - Nov 30
*Limited to 6 children
*Children must reside in California to participate

Karen Wolfe, LMFT of SF Bay Play Therapy and Jessica Reed,M.A. CCC-SLP of Ocean Beach Speech in San Diego are teaming up to provide your child with a unique online social thinking skills learning experience. Open to children ages 7-9 across the state of California, this 12-week online social skills group will provide your child with the much-needed practice for social interaction and learning about the give and take of friendships that is lacking in the current school environment.  
Using play, humor, and decades of combined experience and expertise supporting children, we will lead your child through Michelle Garcia Winner's We Thinker's curriculum to teach them the vocabulary and tools to interact with peers. We will practice playing games that involve cooperative thinking, turn-taking, and learning to be flexible and graceful in the face of winning or losing. All this in an environment of emotional safety and helping your child to identify and work with their own and their peers' emotions.
