A Special Video Just for Kids

HI! My name is Shawny, and I’m a therapist. Here’s what that means. So, just like your doctor helps you take care of your body and your teacher helps you take care of your mind, I help kids take care of their feelings.

To show what I mean, I brought some friends here. These are the feelings from Pixar’s Inside Out — one of my favorites— this is Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. Now, in the movie, sometimes these feelings didn’t get along, and things got really loud and confusing. And the same thing can happen to us! So, when I work with kids, we help those feelings get along a little bit better with each other.

My favorite part of my job is that i can to play with really cool kids every day. Some of the ways we play together are: reading books, playing games, making art, and even playing with puppets. Right? (Puppet nods).

Now just like probably a lot of other things in your life, we are going to meet on video, instead of face to face. But I promise you, you will get to play exactly the way you need to. If you have any questions about me or about therapy, feel free to ask a grown up who you live with.

I can’t wait to meet you! See you soon, bye!
