Teaching children about thoughts and emotions

At Monument Learning, we focus on moving little minds towards big awareness and we believe in equipping children with the skills of metacognition - the ability to think about their own thinking.

As such, we have developed a product using the engaging metaphor of a fish tank, where we've incorporated fun, multi-sensory learning techniques and tools that empower children to navigate their emotional world. This kit and program helps children comprehend the intricate interplay of thoughts and emotions within themselves and others.
