Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul Provincial House, Parañaque City Cycle 1 (06.07.17 - 22.07.17)
This year, we decided to add counseling sessions after every class where we did exercises in order to help boost the children’s self-esteem.
Different activities and things we discussed as a group were thinking about a happy place when feeling sad or anxious, things we were grateful for, strengths and weaknesses, goal setting, what makes a true friend, peer pressure, and how to deal with failure by having a positive mindset.They were also introduced to journaling and were very open and responsive to sharing their different thoughts and feelings.
Parents came and talked to us about how they noticed a change of attitude in their children, so we hope to continue this program!
