S.T.O.P

S: Stop- ask the students to stop whatever they are doing

T: Take three deep breaths - belly breaths with long inhales & exhales

O: Observe - Invite your children to tune into their physical sensations, surroundings, and emotions. They can notice what they see, hear, feel, and taste. They can label their emotions (without judging them). Ask them to identify their thoughts.
