I've been working closely with a student since last year. We meet together virtually and work on different Social-Emotional Learning skills. One day, he let me know he was super stressed out and wanted to talk through it with me. I asked him what strategies he used to calm himself down (we work a lot on positive self-talk together). He went through the different positive things he told himself and the breathing strategies he used and said he was able to calm down and get all his work done and catch up. It’s awesome to help students independently cope with their stress and anxiety and add important skills to their toolbelt.
