What We Do
FocusedKids believes everyone should know how their brains work – especially children. We teach kids (starting in preschool) about three parts of the brain using puppets to represent each part. The puppets are very engaging and feel safe, as are the activities and stories used to teach children what happens in their brains. This information becomes tangible, making it easier for them to decide what they can do with complicated feelings and behaviors. With this skill, their growth and potential are limitless. Even four-year-olds can do this!
