I have amazing students who have a deep desire to do well academically as well as socially, but many of them come into school not equipped with healthy ways to navigate life, stress, overwhelming emotions and peers. I passionately believe in focusing on the whole child and helping them grow into the healthy adult they deserve to be in life! I want them to reach their full potential! So many times in our sessions we discuss healthy ways to cope and handle the stress that life can present. During our time together we utilize stress relieving items like stress balls, putty, and figit devices. Many of my students, no matter what the age love to build with legos as they talk and open up and share. We even talk about how building with legos is very calming and can be a great way to deescalate when stressed! I want my students to have a few new coping strategies in their "tool box" that are healthy ways to express their feelings!
