SKILLS BUILDING FOR YOUTH IN GRADES 1-5
Casey’s Clubhouse is a 30-lesson journey for your child that builds upon six umbrella skills and five rotating approaches to training. Because social skills are complex, we layered the six umbrella skills from the most essential skills, like energy regulation, to the most complex skills, like interpersonal mastery.
Regulation:
The ability to identify and regulate your energy, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in an effort to improve social success.
Confidence:
The ability to see oneself as skilled, effective, resourceful, and reliant based on interpersonal evidence to improve social success.
Mindfulness:
The ability to become consciously aware of your energy, emotions, thoughts, and behavior to support your friendship goals and improve social success.
Problem Solving:
The ability to find fair solutions to social problems using creative and well-considered ideas to improve social success.
Determination:
The ability to manage adversity while keeping up your belief that the current state can change with the addition of skills, grit, and courage to improve social success.
Mastery:
The ability to review, demonstrate, and teach social skills to peers, which improve social success.
These six umbrella skills are broken down into five approaches to learning. As educators, we know that children learn differently. The five approaches give different learners different opportunities to integrate the same material and others the opportunity to reinforce the learning from another perspective. The five approaches are:
ME:
How does this skill relate to me as a unique individual?
Ex: my regulation skills are determined by my natural tendencies and challenges.
ENERGY:
How does this skill relate to my body’s energy?
Ex: my mindfulness is influenced by my ability to regulate my energy.
EMOTION:
How does this skill relate to my feelings?
Ex: my determination is affected by my fear, anger and happiness.
THOUGHTS:
How does this skill relate to my thoughts?
Ex: my problem-solving skills are prompted by my self-talk.
BEHAVIORS:
How does this skill relate to my actions?
Ex: my confidence is realized through my social risk taking.
These approaches lend structure to our lessons designed to layer learning while we reinforce basic interpersonal and life skills. We reward, model, and coach kids each session to show skills including: eye contact, greeting each other by name, sharing, being flexible, apologizing, compromising, using patience, being inclusive, communicating, listening, respecting personal space, calm energy, staying focused, following directions, participating in conversations and activities and more.
