Okay, boys and girls, gather 'round, it's circle-time...no wait, it's Group Therapy!! The London Telegraph is reporting that some pre-schools are using circle time as a place for children to share their problems. And one of these pre-schools even set up a "calming tent" for frustrated children to settle down. The children are being taught to listen and respond with empathy to their classmates' problems. Wow -- we knew Group Therapy was powerful, but who knew that it could be implemented so early in life!!
