Lesson Plan

Riding The Emotion Ocean

Equip parents with tools to visualize, identify, and regulate their emotions by mapping feelings as waves, fostering self-awareness and coping strategies.

Managing complex emotions enhances parental well-being and models healthy regulation for children. Visualizing feelings as waves makes triggers and coping skills concrete, reducing overwhelm.
