Girl Talk (Cary)- Summer 2023

DEVELOPING SELF-ESTEEM & CONFIDENCE IN PEER INTERACTIONS FOR GIRLS

For children ages 7-9 years

Girl Talk is a program focusing on helping young girls navigate social situations, negotiate peer interactions, and develop healthy friendships by targeting self-esteem, communication, and self-advocacy skills. Through the use of direct instruction, paired with multiple opportunities for practical application of learned skills, girls will learn the skills they need to successfully navigate the social world. Themed days, such as mock birthday parties or sleepovers, provide safe and motivating opportunities for girls to learn and grow. This program will include social communication and sensory motor activities in the sensory gym, games, art and concepts from curriculums such as Social Thinking and Zones of Regulation through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Goals include:

Develop strategies for:

Peer perspective taking
Developing and maintaining friendships
Conversation skills
Teamwork & Problem solving
Developing sensory-based strategies help manage stress/worries
Developing negotiation, sharing and game skills with peers

If your child is not attending therapy sessions at Emerge, we will be in touch with you to set up a brief free screening to determine if this program is a good match for your child
