Comments About Our Workshops
“When I came into the workshop, I was thinking about how the Grump Meter could help me and my children manage our anger. I left knowing there is hope through these tools, and we could live a life with more peace.”
“At first I didn't think that the Grump Meter would be applicable in a classroom, but boy was I wrong!”
“As a therapist, I think that the Grump Meter corresponds to CBT models, the cycle of violence, etc. But it is simpler, more powerful and accessible, colorful, fun, and calming in itself. Fantastic--thank you!”
“I came into the workshop thinking that the Grump Meter was a tool for educators or adults in general, but now I know that it is a tool/strategy/awareness for us all!! Thank you.”
“I had one particular student in mind when I started the Grump Meter workshop, but now I am thinking about how I can use it with all my students.”
“This is a great tool to bring to myself and everyone I know for everyday life.”
“I got way more than I expected out of this workshop.”
“The workshop helped me think about how I could implement the Grump Meter in my particular workplace.”
“The workshop gave me helpful ideas about how I can better serve the families I work with. Thank you.”
“I started off thinking about the word "grumpy"--how I and others act grumpy. But the workshop helped me think about an entire range of feelings, not just grumpy. And I am excited to teach children about the range!”
“The Grump Meter gives you a fun, non-threatening way to deal with emotions. In the workshop, I thought about how one event can trigger a big feeling, like a chain reaction. The Grump Meter can help you break the chain.”
“I am so happy I attended this workshop. We all have the need for language to express feelings and build self-awareness. The Grump Meter is such a simple tool to help us do this. Thanks!”
