Growth Mindset -Teenager +

Admin — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 04:34:11 +0000

Teenagers often think they need to be perfect, but a mistake is a learning opportunity to be embraced. Thomas Edison once said, ‘I haven’t failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that didn’t work.’ Changing our thinking can led to growth. If we keep thinking the same way, we will stay the same. This is a helpful process to check what we are thinking is REAL.

ePoster Don’t be a Bystander

Admin — Sun, 01 Jul 2018 11:06:12 +0000

Don’t be a bystander. Tell the bully to STOP, suggest an alternative thing to do, or find an adult or someone else to help. Being a Bystander and watching, can actually encourage a bully to keep going, as they have a false acceptance of what they are doing. Some bystanders even join in, which makes it much harder for the person to get away or cope. Even if you are out somewhere and see someone being bullied, call the emergency number to get help. Don’t put yourself in danger of harm, get help.

Bullying TALK WALK TELL

Use this to teach strategies to help stop bullying and not to be a victim or bystander. If you see someone being bullied, don’t stand by and watch, tell them to stop or get help. Often bullies have been bullied themselves, or don’t know how to make friends. If you get to know a bully, they are less likely to bully you.

Also available as an ePoster and in the Poster Set.

Cyber Bullying RECORD BLOCK TELL

Cyber Bullying is growing fast, so we need to be aware of it from a young age. Watch out for iPhones and IT as new causes of depression. Be aware of what your children and students are doing on their IT. Encourage them to TELL you about any potential problems.

Look at my posts on bullying and the website ‘Bullying No Way’ for ideas and strategies.

Self Talk Traffic Lights

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:53:48 +0000

Be mindful of what you are saying to yourself. This poster is a reminder that when we say negative things to ourselves or others, there IS a way to change that thought process. The AMBER/Yellow light has just a few of the questions you can ask yourself to correct your thinking e.g. “Can I think of that another way? ….. Am I going to let that thought control me? …. How can I solve this? … Am I exaggerating?” etc. If we stay in the negative thoughts process, we are holding our happiness, and that of those around us back. Listen to your self talk today and see if you can improve it. It is not until you listen, that you know! Good Luck, you can do it!!

Look up the posts on Self Talk for ideas and strategies to use with this Poster.
