Cakap Kids Academy Berbagi: Cultivating Emotional Intelligence Through Art Therapy

For some people, including children, it’s sometimes not easy to recognize what they feel, let alone communicate it. This activity aims  to equip children with ways to recognize, experience, regulate, and express emotions through art. Art not only encourages children’s creativity and imagination but also serves as a non-verbal medium for emotions that are difficult to express in words. The expected outcome is for children to recognize and express their emotions better and healthily.

“Why is this therapy important? Because all children need to be equipped with strong emotional regulation skills as a foundation for facing stress, maintaining healthy relationships, and overcoming life challenges as they grow older,” said Amelia Putri, Depth Psychotherapist from Atman Transpersonal Center, who facilitated the session.
