The greatest gift we can give our children...
SEL MONTH PLAN Naming emotions | Regulation | accountability and Repair | Resilience and self-worth
Week 1 Day 1
A kid who throws their backpack across the room after school isn’t trying to ruin our afternoon.
They are overwhelmed and just trying to catch their breath. Putting words to what happened – on the bus or in class – probably feels impossible when they don’t know how to name exactly what it is they’re feeling.
When we approach them with this understanding and help them find words for what’s going on inside, something shifts.
They start learning how to move through their emotions more steadily instead of being overtaken by them.

Sometimes, we think the best thing we can give our kids is more – more opportunities, more experiences, or more activities.
And while those things matter, it’s not necesssarily the memories they hold onto.
Our time and attention help shape their sense of self-worth. Because to them, nothing we give could replace how special our full presence makes them feel.

Make a accountability and repair part of the process. Make it very normal. When they apologize, be willing to listen and accept it and make sure that there’s that accountability part built into.
Conversation over consequence, but consequences are there they’re not they’re they they’re part of the Repair not tied together but teaching responsibility, perhaps have a conversation with them about what Repair can look like instead of just handing out punishments – model repair, get vulnirable with them when you make a mistake, you wont look weak – example apt wrong day
