We need to acknowledge all of our feelings, and none are bad, it is what we sometimes DO with our feelings that are the problem. Teach strategies to control feelings i.e. deep breathing, counting to 10, walking away, doing something that you know calms you down.

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.

Circle Time. One person speaks at a time, you have the right to pass, there are no put downs. Use Silent Statements, games, pairs, complete the sentence and a reflection. Every Face Has a Place in Circle Time. It gives every student a chance to share their thoughts.

Positive Thought of the Week

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:55:10 +0000

Use this in your school, classroom or business. Have students or workers come up with positive thoughts to put up each week. Have each student in the class write one and rotate them during the year, or as a school, choose one from each class on a rotating basis.

Some Prep/ Pre-Primary examples: Help someone if they are hurt; Let people play; Make friends with people you don’t know; Share toys.

Senior Primary examples: Don’t be a bully, think of others instead; When you give up, you fail, but when you try again you get another chance to pass; If you believe in yourself, others will believe in you; Stand up to bullying.

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.

Breathe Act Think

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:52:48 +0000

This is a strategy to calm down and get your feelings back on track. Deep Breathing is always the first thing to calm yourself down, then do or think of something you enjoy, then be a detective and explore a different way to think about the situation. Calming down and doing something you like always changes your mood.

Look up posts on feelings and emotions, body signs, catastrophe scale for more ideas and strategies.

Catastrophe Scale

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:51:59 +0000

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.
