In Wellbeing this week, we will be focusing on more Respectful Relationship lessons.
Our goal will be:
• to practise ways to seek help from adults.
• To practise ways to say what the problem is when they are seeking help.
We will talk about how problems come in different sizes. Some are small problems. These ones we can usually manage by ourselves. Sometimes we have medium-size problems. These ones we can often solve with help from our friends. But sometimes we have bigger problems, or lots of problems all at once, or problems that just won’t go away. When this happens, it is best to get an adult to help.
We will go through some help-seeking scenarios that students will work in small groups to come up with solutions.
