Key concepts students will learn:

  • Triggers are stressful things that cause your emotions to run wild; examples include losing a game, feeling embarrassed, or being hungry.

  • The first step to managing big emotions is to notice and identify the emotions you are feeling, and you can ask yourself questions like 'What am I thinking?' and 'What do I feel in my body?'

  • Coping skills can be broken down into four categories: relaxation skills, distraction skills, movement skills, and thinking skills.
