Children discovered what some of the confusing things in life are in a playbased atmosphere at the Confused Themed Drop-In Program at Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre (PLC) on February 7.

PC Program Planner Angel Campbell said the program was about opposite day so everyone was told in advance they could wear everything backwards. The children also participated in an obstacle scavenger hunt where they had to find all the opposite pictures.

The children also had to demonstrate they knew the difference between happy and sad, awful and excellent during a taste testing in the kitchen, and identify other opposite words and pictures

“We are doing a Confused Themed Day because this is usually an emotion or feeling that kids have and we wanted them to find things that were confusing so they can identify that feeling and be able to find out what type of emotion that feeling gives them. The emotions of confusing can sometimes cause frustration. This program was meant to help the children to find out what they can do if they become frustrated and how to regulate themselves and how to problem solve,” Campbell explained.
