That’s Not Fair! What Do I Do?
When life doesn't provide sweet lemonade, how do we navigate the relationships, the self-talk, and the punch? In this 2 module course, we will explore practical ways we still can stand tall, move on, and build resilience after a fall.

This course has interaction and personal focus: 1. We take on a real-life experience (an actual activity) to demonstrate the tension of 'fairness' to set a baseline for discussion. 2. We walk through relevant examples of what students deal with in real-life, and reactive behaviors when they think it's unfair. 3. We will cover the broad content 'out of our control' and how our actions can impact relationships, self-care, social groups, and grades. 4. We will cover the application of topics to practice as a student in life, with adults anytime, at home, or at school. 5. We will examine the importance of "showing not telling" and modeling a good example when practicing. Parents agree that 'life is not fair' at times yet we all need resilience to move through a challenge. The first module will be discussing the growth mindset and knowing that fairness is not something we HAVE to enjoy, but something we GET to experience. The second session will include practical activities to demonstrate taking action (or managing emotions) when we don't agree with the result. When we learn from the experience we don't like, we grow our capacities to overcome them next time.

Parental Guidance
Please understand that almost 50% of the students that will attend this class are "told to participate" by their parents. This is NOT a class on race, politics, or diversity/inclusion. This class is about middle school experiences relating to feeling 'life's unfair'.
I have had a lot of success in winning the kids over in the first session to stay engaged in both sessions. I would ask for your grace in the "transformation" period of becoming responsible... this course has proven data and parent feedback that it can work BUT it is not a magic pill. Please take that into consideration and I am always available for a 1-1 conversation if you need support. Thank you for the gift of working with your student.
