Emotional intelligence (IQ) has been shown to be as important as academic intelligence (IQ) for children to enjoy and succeed at school. Coping socially and having emotional resilience when interactions with peers do not go so well are two key areas of school success. These groups are great for children that might tend to be shy, overbearing or unconfident in their attempts to make and keep friends. We aim to group similar aged children and the programmes tend to run for 6-week blocks. (indicative age: Prep to Grade 2. Older Groups as needed).
