Welcome to our web site!

Connecting with Kids is a new business which has been designed to meet the needs of educators, therapists, counselors, daycare providers, parents, and anyone else who has an impact on the lives of young children.  We have designed social skills activities that are fun, educational,  and affordable.  Most of our activities can be used for several different activities and can be used over and over again with your kids.

My name is Megan Turner and I am the creator of Connecting with Kids.  I have earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. Working with children has always been my passion.  I have over five years of experience working with children who have emotional and behavioral disorders.  My work has been in group homes, as well as day treatment schools for children with behavioral problems. 

For the past 2 1/2 years I have been at home with my two wonderful kids!  While at home with my kids I have found myself developing many ideas for fun ways to address social skills with young children.  I believe character education is vital these days, but I have also experienced how difficult and time consuming it can be to find appropriate lessons. 

The idea of these lessons and activities are to be able to CONNECT with kids in a positive way.  By making these lessons fun, you will find your kids asking to play social skills games, such as bingo, charades, or the card games.  Imagine your kids choosing to play a feelings game as a quiet activity instead of a regular game.  In individual situations these activities are a great way to build therapeutic relationship while addressing important issues.  Try one of these activities today and see how convenient, flexible, fun, and affordable the can be.  Or get the complete kit already organized for every activity at your fingertips.
