Shifting Sands: Sandtray Group
Sessions will consist of the following:
- Brief check-in
- Warm-up activity (stretching, mindfulness, breathing technique, etc.)
- Discussion of prompt
- Time for participants to make their sand trays
- Group discussion about their trays
- Journaling/drawing to continue processing of tray
- Quick relaxation activity
- Take-home assignment related to the current group session prompt
We want to ensure that this group is the best fit for your child. If your child is experiencing any of the following concerns, they would likely be a good fit for the group:
- not following school or house rules frequently
- yelling/screaming at siblings or adults
- difficulty socializing with peers
- impulsive behavior
- mild destructive behavior (slamming room door, throwing phone on floor, ripping up homework assignment, etc.)
- difficulty managing emotions
The group is open to children in grades K-2 or grades 6-8, depending on the session. The fee for the entire ten-week group is only $20 for residents and $60 for non-residents (space permitting) and includes all materials.
The next session for grades K-2 will meet from 5:15-6 pm on Tuesdays at the Maine Township Town Hall from 9/17/24-12/10/24 (no group on 10/29, 11/5, or 11/26). There are only 6 spots available in this group.
