The Benefits

The messages in FIND A LOST SMILE - staying true to yourself, following your heart, and blazing your own path - provide several opportunities for discussion, self-reflection, and action in a world where there is so much pressure on kids to conform.  Following the sessions, participants will feel empowered to be their true self and feel more comfortable in their own skin.

What to Expect

If you plan to have more than one classroom, etc. partake, typically, we will start with a brief general assembly where Dr. Jeff will introduce himself, the book, why he wrote it, the challenges he met in his life along the way, etc. 

After the assembly, we will break into smaller groups (typically, Dr. Jeff will spend 30-45 mins per classroom - this is 100% flexible based on your needs.)

In addition to a read aloud, we will provide activities for the children to participate in (which will vary by age group) including, but not limited to:

Coloring activities, short story writing sessions/"how-to's", small group discussions, lessons (i.e. steps to publishing a book), and more
