Brachi is shy. She just moved to a new town, and she doesn’t know anybody. She’s always been reticent by nature, but who will draw her out of her shell? How to help her feel more confident? How will she make friends?
Chaim’s rebbe called…again. Precious Chaim. Why is he so impulsive? How can he learn to manage his anger? How will he learn self-control? How will he learn to channel his high energy appropriately?
Shloimy feels overwhelmed. He feels many emotions, sometimes at once. Scared of the dentist, happy with the outing, tired from the long day. If he can’t figure out what’s happening in his heart, then how can he explain it to anybody else?
When children know that it’s okay to feel emotions – and when they feel empowered to handle them – their world is transformed.

What They've Said...
Mrs. Gordon does not talk to me about my fears. We just play and things change. My son is now much quicker to problem-solve. After years of being petrified to go on his own, he now walks to the grocery by himself. He was once so scared by a grocery delivery man who shouted at him. He has less fear now. He says, “Mrs. Gordon does not talk to me about my fears. We just play, and things change.”

If you know a child who needs to better process their emotional world, contact her. Zipora Gordon has a unique ability to tune into a child’s emotions and bring out their feelings with compassion. She uses age-appropriate scenarios to give them an honest view of the world without robbing them of their childhood innocence. I'm in awe! If you know a child who needs to expand their emotional world — or better process their emotions — contact her.
-Bylu Wertheimer, mother of children in groups
Created specifically for the Orthodox Jewish community — the only one of its kind. It takes something transformative to earn the accolades I'm about to shower on Zipora's groundbreaking social-emotional curriculum and group workshops. This is no slapdash 'educational program'. Your students or children will learn to identify emotions, gain self-awareness, achieve self-management, build positive relationships, and practice responsible decision-making skills. Every educator who works with children ages 3-10 owes it to their students to explore what Zipora has to offer.
-Mrs. Moskowitz, mother of 8-year-old boy in Ruach Uneshama
She learnt how to manage her emotions. My daughter used to fall apart when feeling disappointed. After attending the sessions and utilizing the techniques, she learnt how to handle her emotions, in a pleasant manner. At this point when she gets frustrated, and upset she utilizes the Five Step Building LIVES model. I am amazed at the level of mindfulness, and skills of identifying emotions that culminates in managing emotions via self-soothing techniques, applicable to her personally.
-Mrs. Korn mother of 10 year old girl in Ruach Uneshama
