All of our students are different. Some use words to express what they're feeling, unfortunately many do not. We must FIND the way to what they're feeling, what they're thinking, what they're struggling with. Emotions are hard. Even for adults. It can be overwhelming for children. But through my experience, I have learned that children tend to talk when they're playing or creating. They can even work on projects at home, and send it directly to the Cricut so that it can come to life. The Cricut Maker will allow them to explore their creativity and align it with expressing their emotions. Sometimes, we need more than just words to express what we feel! Let's help them gain this!
