SOCIAL SKILLS GROUPS

Open-Ended Materials for Proactive Problem-Solving

AGES 3-8

Vanessa's work leans into the reactive feelings children naturally display when disappointed or frustrated. Material invitations and intentional language encourages opportunities for public speaking, turn-taking, self expression, flexibility, sharing, and perspective considerations. 

Vanessa welcomes the hard work of making mistakes.

Whether managing social anxiety, anticipation, rigidity, or disappointment, Vanessa's patient, choice-making, loose parts approach, propels community attentiveness through celebrating what children do with their hands, hearts, and voices. 

As children find solutions to pre-set open-ended tools, they face intentional social invitations of conflict and guided resolution.

"We want things to go wrong,

so children can practice how to make it right."

- Vanessa Ramos
