Thoughts & Reflections
Consider jotting down a few notes, perhaps in a journal or notebook.
Last week, we focused on building awareness around emotional wellbeing.
Here are some thoughts and questions to consider:
- Help your child begin to name physical experiences and emotions.
- Is there a headache or tightness in the chest?
- Does the brain feel fuzzy or are the legs and arms tense?
- Is there heat building up inside or does the body have the wiggles?
- Encourage your child to identify and name emotions beyond happy and sad.
- Frustrated, peaceful, relaxed, agitated, excited, confused, scared, prideful, angry, amused, etc.
- Help your child start to connect bodily actions to feelings to needs. For example, "When I start to look all over the room and jiggle in my seat (actions), I feel antsy (feeling) and I know I need a brain break," (need)
Feel free to review last week's recording where we looked at competence.
