In P1 we have been working on having a positive mindset. A positive mindset is important for children because it can help them develop resilience, confidence, and emotional stability. It can also help them learn to manage their emotions, which can lead to better mental health and overall happiness. Start your day with some affirmations!
P2 is practicing gratitude in a whole new way. While we have to spot danger and deal with negative situations and feelings, we also want to learn how to experience, feel, notice, talk about the positive in life. When we’re able to FIGHT the negativity bias, we can experience more of a balance in positive and negative emotions. The best way to do that is to train our brain to focus on the good through practicing gratitude and What Went Well!
By popular demand, this is our go to song!
The wheel of Choices is a tool we have been using at school for conflict resolution. The goal is for children to be able to identify their needs whenever they find themselves in a conflict, and to be able to solve it in an accretive way.
At home, everyone can use The Wheel of Choices!
