SEL/Teaching Tips of the Week
SEL Tip #18 - Emotions are a part of our lives, no matter if you are 5 or 95, we all experience a range of emotions daily. When a person is having a “big emotion” using self-talk is one way to calm down and return to baseline (*Link to brain research and TCI training - when a person is dysregulated they only hear 7-8% of what someone else is trying to say to them - they are literally not in their right mind and need to get to baseline first before being able to consider healthy next steps). See below for a visual and steps of how to use self-talk to calm down. Review this. Practice this.
