Desccription:
Given the current circumstances of the world, kids are struggling to manage their anxiety, stress, and anger they feel in safe and healthy ways. We as the adults working with them, want to help them manage their emotions so they can connect with others and learn. How do we offer our students the support they need, no matter where they are?
Join Janine Halloran, author of best-selling “Coping Skills for Kids Workbook” to show kids simple, healthy, and safe ways to identify and express their emotions and calm their bodies. By discovering coping skills, they’ll be better able to focus on their work during school time and spend time connecting with their families when schoolwork is done.
The positive impact safe and healthy coping skills will have on a child can be truly transformational!
Learning Objectives:
- Determine how the pandemic has impacted students socially and emotionally and how we can help support them
- Apply coping skills for kids to try either at home or school to implement safe and healthy ways to manage anxiety, handle stress, and express anger
- Identify coping skills that can be done in a remote setting, or in a socially distanced way and still be effective
