General Session (12:00-12:50 PM)
There is no doubt we are all experiencing a storm in our lives and for many teachers, families, and students it has had a significant impact on their emotional and mental health. Dysregulated people dysregulate people, so finding and sharing calm in the midst of today's chaos is a critical skill. As educational systems we must help proactively build these skills in students and adults. We are not able to think clearly and rationally when we are dysregulated and often make the biggest mistakes in our lives when we have lost control of our emotions. What does it mean to be emotionally hijacked? What do we do when we are emotionally hijacked? and How can we prevent ourselves and others from becoming emotionally hijacked? This session covers all of that and more, as we explore the brain science of emotional hijacking, awareness skills, regulation and co-regulation skills. Join Coach Rudy for an extremely useful session not only for working with students, but also for one you will find helpful personally and with the adults you care about.
