Class Experience

Big emotions are common among kids. However, in the middle school years, students are going through a large restructuring inside their brain that to will lead to higher and more complex thinking ability. This affects a child’s ability to handle their emotional state. 
This one time course will educate kids on: 
How to handle their emotional capacity.
Kids will learn about their prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala and how they work. 
Kids will learn about their fight/flight response and use examples.
Kids will also learn and try different ways to be calm, cool, and collected before reacting. 

In this one time class, kids will engage through a light lecture, discussion, fight/flight game, and planning for their response to get from seeing red to being cool and rational. 
This is an introductory class and there no previous knowledge required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a school counselor from California. I have run many groups on anger management and social skills. I have learned how important it is for this age gap to understand their large feelings and how they not only enduring a physiological change but their brain is going through a large restructuring too which affects our responses to events.
