Kimochis® 

Sometimes kids have strong feelings that can fuel challenging behaviours. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to communicate when you are in an emotional moment. Kimochis® are a playful way to help children learn how to identify and express feelings. When kids can communicate their feelings effectively, they develop positive social skills that lead to lasting friendships and success in all aspects of life. Kimochis® teach the fourth “R”—reading, writing, arithmetic, and RELATIONSHIPS. This “R” is the foundation for success in ALL areas of life.

This week the Pre-Kindy and Kindy children have been introduced to one of the characters Lovey Dove. Lovey Dove likes to send FRIENDLY signals and to act and speak in KIND ways because she wants everyone to get along.  It makes her anxious when they don’t. She’s also loving and sweet and very proud of her friends and her beautiful baby, Turtle Dove.
