They know that sometimes different people will have different feelings about the same thing and that is okay.
They can show their empathy in caring ways.
K2 students have learned about emotion regulation.
They can use physical clues in their bodies to identify their feelings.
The calm down steps can help them manage strong emotions by putting their hands on their belly, telling themselves to stop and naming their feeling. Then they can completely calm down by taking belly breaths, counting, or using positive self-talk.
Feeling angry is natural. Mean behaviors are not okay.
Talking to a grown-up can help them feel better.
K2 is learning how Kelso's Choices can help them to solve small problems.
Small problems are not dangerous, scary, or illegal and they can probably solve them on their own using solutions from Kelso's Choice wheel.
Big problems are anything that is dangerous, scary, or illegal. They should always go immediately to an adult to get help with big problems.
