We Can Teach, Children Can Learn
Social Emotional Learning Skills for Success In & Out of School
Creating Master Thinkers!
Challenge, Help, Encourage, Student, Success
GiddyGlove Developmental PLAY is not designed to make children Chess Masters. It is designed to make them Master Thinkers who strive to make good choices. We work with Educators, Caregivers, Students and community organizations to help young people learn the skills needed to grow, thrive and succeed through adversity.
While every child may not have the skills, knowledge, or discipline needed to become a doctor, lawyer, astronaut, or innovative genius, they do all have the skills needed to grow up to be civilly productive members of society.
When adults Express Care, provide support, and share power they help expand possibilities for young people.
Working with young people and adults who care, we move beyond problems and setbacks.
We believe that relationships are developmental when they help young people:
- Learn social competence so that they can engage and contribute to the world around them.
- Focus on mental health and emotional resilliance needed to discover who they are.
- Develop academic learning with the intellect and abilities needed to shape their own lives.
Together we can Challenge, Help, Encourage, Student Success at School & in Life! Simply doing what young people do best…PLAY!
