Learn how the brain and body support focus, motivation, and self-regulation in this interactive 6-session workshop.
About this Event

Focus, motivation, and self-regulation can be challenging at any age—but they don’t have to be. In this engaging six-session series, participants will learn how to better understand and harness their own focus and motivation by exploring how the brain and body work together to manage emotions, goals, interactions, and decision-making.

Through interactive activities, reflection, and practical strategies, participants will explore who they are from the inside out while building skills that support growth, confidence, and personal success. Each session builds on the last, helping attendees develop meaningful tools they can use in everyday life.

Important Notes:

  • This is a small-group, interactive series designed for ages 6 and up
  • Class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays for 3 consecutive weeks.
  • Participants are asked to commit to all six sessions, as each session builds on previous learning (Class dates are July 14, July 16, July 21, July 23, July 28, July 30)
  • Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend alongside their child

Perfect for families looking to build stronger focus, motivation, and self-regulation skills together in a supportive and engaging environment.


Testimonials:

"Annie's Brain Boost class was a great class for students who struggle with feelings and emotions in the school environment and gave excellent ideas/resources for the students. She also did a lot of fun/engaging activities that helped both the students and parents understand certain ideas."

"Annie’s class was educational and interactive. My son enjoyed moving his body and learning in a small group setting. Thank you for offering this class!"
