And it improves children’s social skills as well, by helping them to “learn how to work in GROUPS, to share, to negotiate, to resolve conflicts, and to learn self-advocacy skills.” There is a weekly theme that focuses on a specific area of child development.  We also give out an informational parent handout and activities that can be done at home.
