Today's article share from www.2.kqed.org talks about how therapy dogs in the classrooms can help boost children's self-esteem and foster a more relaxed environment for learning.
“Pets are very nonjudgmental, and their calming presence distills stressful situations,' 'For children who feel insecure about their capacity to do things like reading, therapy pets bolster their self-confidence, which reduces their anxiety.”
Here at Linder Educational Coaching we have a therapy dog, Finn, at the office who is happy to hear any tales our students want to share! If you think your child could use some time with our therapy dog then please contact us today! www.linderec.com or call Kristin directly at (703) 270-9129 to learn more.
