If students can identify the emotion they are feeling and with what intensity they are feeling it, they can make better choices about what to do next. This lesson builds on the concept that what students do affects themselves and others, enriching their understanding of the social world and its reciprocal influence on them. In addition, this understanding helps build motivation to use positive, active emotional regulation strategies 

 The purpose of the lesson is to introduce the concept of Flexibility and bring salience to its definition. The activities included in this lesson are designed as hands-on opportunities to explore Flexibility in its physical form, and how approaching tasks Flexibly is more efficient. This lesson forms a bridge from the concept of Physical Flexibility to the more abstract concept of Cognitive Flexibility. The lesson begins the work of creating a vocabulary of words 

 The goal of this lesson is to teach students five self-regulatory scripts that, combined with the previously introduced GWPDC, give students a set of cognitive routines for regulating their behavior effectively. The five scripts are Plan A ➝ Plan B, Compromise, Big Deal/Little Deal, Choice/No Choice, and Expect the Unexpected.” 

 The core goal of these lessons is to help students establish intrinsic motivation for being flexible. This is especially important regarding motivation to change.
