Children's Class at Whitby School, CT
My joy in teaching the wonderful children at Whitby School has been deeply meaningful, as each of them has embraced my stories and songs with love and enthusiasm. It has been heartwarming to observe how these lessons help them develop greater emotional intelligence, focus, and creativity.
Through each story and song, we practice mindfulness while also enjoying yoga movements and freeze dance — activities the children absolutely love! I’ve also noticed beautiful individual growth. For example, Joseph and his sister have become noticeably calmer and more centered.
I always encourage the children to express their creativity freely, and many have shared their own stories that inspired me to write new songs for them. Harper asked for a “scary story,” and Phillip came up with the name Whichy for our friendly wizard — together we turned it into a special Halloween mindfulness story.
It is truly a pleasure and blessing to share this journey with the children and to nurture such kind, imaginative young minds.
