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.

Bullying TALK WALK TELL

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 14:05:42 +0000

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.

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.

When things go wrong and we get upset or anxious, we need to check in on the Catastrophe Scale to see where we sit on it and how we can get to a happier, less stressed place. Put it on your fridge, in the waiting room, in the classroom- wherever you need it to remind you things can improve if you want them to!

Go to the posts on the Catastrophe Scale, feelings, emotions for some strategies.

The Gratitude Journal is at the front of the book to record good things that ‘happen to you’ each day, it’s best to start off doing this daily, but is still successful done a couple of times a week after it becomes a habit. There are dedicated gratitude pages about the special people in your life, things you are good at and things you like about yourself. The Setting Goals component starts on the last page and works backwards into the book, where you can set achievable goals, and work towards them, planning little steps at a time.
