When children are struggling to manage anxiety, ADHD and anger, they can't focus on the academic tasks expected of them in a classroom setting. By teaching kids simple, healthy and safe ways to express their emotions and calm their bodies, they will be better able to concentrate on their work during the school day. The positive impact healthy coping skills will have on a child's academic performance is truly transformational.
