What Schools Forgot To Teach
Your child learns Math, Science, English. But do they learn what to do when big feelings take over? How to calm down before they explode? How to be brave when they’re scared?

WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL EXPERIENCE
A Day of Discovery, Growth & Missing Education
Every activity is designed to help children understand themselves, handle big feelings,
and build confidence they carry home.
Understand What's Happening Inside
Children learn to recognize and name their emotions and not just "happy" or "sad," but the full range of what they feel. They discover where feelings live in their body and what triggers them.
Express Themselves & Be Brave
Through art, movement, and creative play, children practice showing what's inside - safely. They do one small brave act and get celebrated for it.
Meaningful Friendships
Children connect with like-minded peers, learn empathy, teamwork, respectful communication, and the value of supporting one another.
Learn to Calm Down (Before They Explode)
Simple, body-based tools that actually work. Breathing techniques, shaking it out, grounding exercises - things they can use tonight, not just concepts they'll forget.
Take the Learning Home
Every child leaves with practical tools, memorable experiences, and simple habits they can continue using long after the retreat ends.
THE JOURNEY
Know It. Handle It. Show It. Take It Home.
Zone 1: KNOW IT
"What's happening inside me?" Children build emotional vocabulary, create their personal body map, and discover where feelings show up physically. They leave this zone able to name what they feel and that’s the first step to managing it.
Zone 2: HANDLE IT
"What do I do when big feelings come?" The traffic light system (green/yellow/red zones) plus three body-based tools: Breathe, Shake, Ground. They practice with real scenarios from their lives.
Zone 3: SHOW IT
"Can I express what's inside - and be brave?" Creative expression through art and movement. One small brave act - volunteering, sharing, leading - that gets witnessed and celebrated.
Zone 4: TAKE IT HOME
"Integration + Parent Connection" Children create their "My Promise to Myself" card. Meanwhile, parents join for a 30-minute session where they learn what we did, what we noticed, and how to continue at home.
OUR APPROACH
Learn By Doing. Grow By Experiencing.
Most programs lecture children about emotions or keep them busy with activities. We do neither.
Every experience at The Missing Education is designed using four expressive modalities – Movement, Art, Music, and Drama – grounded in developmental psychology and neuroscience.
Children don’t just hear about emotional regulation. They feel it in their bodies. They don’t just learn about bravery. They practice it in a safe space.
Details:
- Approach: Experiential, body-first learning
- Methods: Movement, Art, Music & Creative Expression
- Focus: Emotional Awareness, Self-Regulation & Confidence
- Environment: Safe, Playful & Supportive
- Outcome: Tools Children Can Use Tonight
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

YOUR FACILITATOR
Meet Preeti Toraskar
Preeti Toraskar Founder, Young SoulTales
Preeti is the founder of Young SoulTales and a trained Expressive Movement Therapist.
She has trained under Dr. Daniel Siegel – the neuroscientist behind The Whole-Brain Child – and attended Transform Trauma Oxford with Bessel van der Kolk, Esther Perel, and Richard Schwartz.
Before this work, she spent 18 years in spatial design. She’s also a mother to a teenager – so she knows firsthand that parenting is hard, and that none of us were taught how to do this.
She created The Missing Education because she saw what was missing – not just for other people’s children, but for her own.

FAQ's
What Parents Ask
That's completely okay. The last 30 minutes include a parent session where we share what we did, what we noticed (in general terms), and how to continue at home. You'll also receive printed guides and a follow-up check-in on Day 3.
Most workshops are either lecture-based (boring) or purely activity-based (fun but no depth). We use experiential learning - movement, art, music, drama - that's engaging AND meaningful. Children don't realize they're learning; they think they're playing.
No. This is education, not therapy. We teach emotional literacy skills that benefit ALL children - not just those with specific challenges. Think of it like learning to read, but for emotions.
Children with mild to moderate challenges often benefit greatly. However, if your child requires one-on-one clinical support, this group setting may not be the right fit. WhatsApp us to discuss - we're happy to advise.
Comfortable clothes they can move in. We'll provide all materials and snacks. No screens allowed during the workshop.
We request parents to drop off and return for the last 30 minutes (parent session). Children open up more when parents aren't watching, it's part of what makes the space safe.
Full refund if you cancel 7+ days before. 50% refund for 3-7 days. No refund within 3 days (but you can transfer your spot to another child).
