Kristin Bruce-How to Be Happy

My first zoom with Uganda and their first computers! We both were happy!

It’s game day!! Yesterday was a long day of prep but I’m super excited to film amazing kids feeling emotions!!

It was a hard day for the teens at the juvenile facility. Some weren’t buying that judgements are about themselves. The one fellow that resisted the most made sure to tell me I better be back next week. I told him that was my plan. It was sad for me to think that just because he didn’t agree with me he thought I’d abandon them.
Healthy communication allows for differences of opinions. I think we need this lesson now more than ever.

Today was a breakthrough moment for one young man at the juvenile facility. He came in super angry and by going through his emotions he left owning his part in the incident. That led to forgiveness.

Teens don’t choose to be angry. They just need tools to help get them through it. We all can relate.

It was graduation day for the girls!! They have worked hard and developed many new emotional skills! They were espcially excited about their certificates although some wrote their own names on it because their artistic skills are way more beautiful than my kinder print writing!! 😂
