Course Description: “Hornets and Hippos” is a four-class program for parents and children from 6 to 12 years old that teaches families how anxiety, anger and the stress responses work. The animal-friendly imagery and mindfulness techniques presented in this workbook will teach children about their ‘hornet-brain’ (amygdala) and ‘hippo-brain’ (hippocampus), and offer them ways to reduce and manage high anxiety and stress moments.

At this workshop, you and your child will discover helpful worksheets, guided meditations and other easy-to-remember techniques that will, over time, develop a home routine to help your child find more calm and peace of mind.
