How to Surf the Waves: A Sensory and Emotional Regulation Curriculum
is a groundbreaking program designed to empower children and the adults who support them with essential skills for emotional regulation and personal success.

Using the metaphor of surfing, children explore the ebb and flow of their emotions as a natural part of life. The program equips them with evidence-based tools and strategies to effectively ride the waves of their feelings, ultimately leading to greater personal fulfillment and achievement. Through the curriculum's engaging lessons and activities, children learn to predict, navigate, and triumph over life's ever-changing challenges.
