students in class

Donna Goldsmith – through a grant from West Haven’s Youth & Family Services – recently taught our 4th graders the EFT tapping technique!

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. It allows a person to validate how they are feeling (sad, happy, anxious, etc.) and use a systemic tapping approach while talking through how one is feeling so one can better regulate his/her emotions.

The students did a good job stepping out of their comfort zone to participate in this calming technique!
