Have you ever heard of the Confidence Cliff? ๐Ÿ’ญ

After reading Lauren Rubenstein's "Visiting Feelings," artists created their own feelings out of clay. A project like this allows kids to explore their feelings in a safe, low-pressure way.

This raindrop, created by a kindergartener, reflects feelings of nervousness about the ongoing rainy weather. We may not know why the rain makes her nervous, but our team knows that art can hold space for her feelings. ๐ŸŒง
