Teaching Kids Cause And Effect
Exploring cause and effect with kids helps them to understand the physical, social, emotional, and functional consequences of behaviors. This reflection on behaviors allows them to appropriately repair negative or unintended consequences, and refine future behaviors to seek positive outcomes.

A creative outlet can be a powerful coping tool. Read on to explore our free resources for art therapy, creative writing, and sensory activities.
Self-Perception in Childhood
Kids are often in positions where they can’t change their circumstances and this lack of control can lead to feelings of despair and negative self-perception. So how can we help them find ways to exercise self-efficacy within the confines of childhood? Connect them with their future selves!
We have created two free, printable exercises to help kids think about their present situation, how they would like things to be different, and their aspirations for the future.
Summer Counseling Activities
Summer is great time to engage with kids in fun, creative ways! Through play-based learning, art prompts, nature exploration, mindfulness exercises, and team-building games, kids can grow, connect, and thrive during summer break.
