As a school counselor, one of the most frequent issues that comes up for students is coping skills. Kids get frustrated and have difficulty managing their emotions for a variety of reasons. For some, it is when they struggle academically. For others,​ it is when they experience conflict with their peers. Some arrive at school upset about an issue going on at home. Students need guidance and specific strategies that can help them manage their difficult emotions in healthy, positive ways. Stress balls and squishy toys can help a student to regulate anger or focus more during class time, and I will provide one to any student who needs one. I also plan to provide each classroom with a glitter wand. These will provide students an opportunity to calm down and focus for a short period of time without leaving the classroom or disrupting the learning environment for themselves or others. Mindfulness activities are helpful and can be applied to classroom lessons, small groups or individual student needs.
