Uploaded Jan 07, 2021 to COVID-19 Information
When things are new, overwhelming, or stressful, we often can feel panic.
When you feel panic, try slowing down as your first response. Slowing down gets your brain into a calm space. One where you can think through your options and explore what you and your child may need.
There are many ways to slow down:
· Take a deep breath
· Physically move your body slower
· Remind yourself that it takes time to form a routine
· Step outside or take a walk
· Take a drink of water
· Agree to wait until later to make a decision about something -

- Thoughts impact how we feel and how we feel impacts what we do. We can help students to think differently through cognitive coaching.
- Validating how our students think and feel is the first step before problem solving.
- Help your student to evaluate: is this thought true, helpful, or kind? If not, how can I think differently about this situation.
Challenge: It is hard to see our students struggle, try hard at first to validate their experience before helping them to think differently!
