Does your child know what to do with his/her big feelings? Can she manage the day to day stress, or are you noticing an increase in anxiety, frustration, withdrawal, or overwhelm?

Kids who understand how to regulate their emotions (meaning they can identify their own feelings and come back to a calmer state quickly) make healthier and wiser choices with their thoughts and behaviors. Emotion regulation is one of the core skills in building a child's resilience. Resilience is the thing that equips kids to navigate the complicated and stressful world and still be able to take advantage of the opportunities available to reach their goals and dreams.

In this class, students get to learn about and practice using a specific emotion regulation tool. They will become more aware of how they are feeling emotionally and physically, and then create a personal plan for what to do to calm down. Students will also practice a relaxation technique together as a class. Students are encouraged to contribute their ideas to the class conversation and activities, or they may choose to observe and reflect using printouts at home.
