2nd Step Social Emotional Learning Tip of the Week

This week students continue learning skills to manage emotions like anger, disappointment, and anxiety.

Mindfulness is a great way to manage these emotions. Here is a helpful video to watch to do with your kids. https://youtu.be/r1C8hwj5LXw

Continue practicing calm down strategies with your children.
Remind them to: Stop, name the feeling, and use a calm down strategy.

Calm down strategies include:

Belly Breathing
Positive self talk
Guided meditation

Praise their attempts to manage emotions and their successes.

Congratulations Scripps Spelling Bee Winners!
