Mad
You may feel angry or mad. It is okay to feel this way. It is also important when we are angry and mad that we are using our self-regulation strategies so that we can cope in a helpful and safe way. When we feel mad we may also notice we have high energy. Many times when we are mad we are in the red zone. Being mad and in the red zone is okay, you just can't stay.
Are you having a hard time getting along with those that you are spending all this extra time with away from school? Here are some Restorative Practice questions that may help you and this other person find a solution to a conflict that your are having:
What happened?
What were you thinking about at the time?
What have you thought about since?
Who has been affected by what you have done? In what way?
What do you think you need to do to make things right?
Next steps:
You each can write or draw your answers to these questions and then come together to talk about the issue. Remember: only one person speaks at a time, speak honestly and with an open heart, listen carefully to what they are saying -not what you think they will say or mean- and work together to come up with a solution. You got this!
