I want to provide students with tools to help them self regulate. We know that students today face a lot of stress and deal with big emotions. If we can teach students from a young age various strategies to help them when they feel big emotions, it will set them up for success throughout life. Children are not born knowing how to calm down, it is a skill that must be taught, modeled and practiced over time. Children, just like adults, do not like to feel upset, but often are unsure of what to do when something doesn't feel right. I want to give students the tools to remain cool, calm and collected throughout these stressful times.
