About Us

Our Method

Real-Life Practice

Learning social skills in isolation doesn't provide the practical experience needed to apply them in real-life situations. In our club, children practice these skills in a safe, supportive group setting.

Safe Learning Environment

By working with other children, they develop problem-solving, listening, and communication skills in a controlled, stress-free environment

Interactive Storytelling

Through storytelling and building with bricks, children explore solutions together, gaining practical experience in dealing with real-life scenarios.

Who Can Benefit

Busy Bugs Bricks Club is not only for children with behavioral issues or academic difficulties. It’s also for high-achieving children who need a break from the pressures of constant performance. Our club offers a relaxing, fun environment where they can unwind while still being intellectually and emotionally stimulated.

Busy Bugs Bricks Club: Developing Social, Emotional, and Developmental Skills

Why We Do It

With years of experience working with children in her counselling practice, continuous studies in the field, and extensive research as a Professor for International Universities, Prof Marlize has identified a crucial link between emotional trauma and intellectual development. Children struggling with unresolved emotional issues often find it challenging to learn new things because their brains are preoccupied with processing trauma.

Our Unique Approach

Unlike other brick clubs that focus solely on educational, mathematical, and scientific skills, Busy Bugs Bricks Club goes a step further. Under the guidance of Prof Marlize, we integrate emotional and social developmental skills, strengthening your child's coping, behavioral, and intellectual abilities in a playful manner.
