SUMMARY:Sensory Session - Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Come Connect\, Play & Practice Being Present! \nJoin us at the Henderson Sensory Outdoor Space on July 16th for a fun\, hands-on time of learning how to slow down\, notice the moment\, and build skills for calming and connection. \nMindfulness is all about paying attention to what is happening right now—letting go of worries about the past or future and learning how to feel more grounded. This is a powerful skill for both kids and caregivers as we grow our ability to regulate emotions\, calm our bodies\, and strengthen relationships. \nCome explore\, play\, and discover simple ways your family can practice being present together! \nRegister Here
