4-7 NEWS:
The 4-7 classroom is enjoying the time we still have together for LIPI on Tuesdays and Fridays. For Tuesday group this week, the students brainstormed their strengths and challenges to make a collective list, for the next section in our Self-Awareness packet. We also watched an instructional video on making microwave quesadillas, before testing our skills with our own ingredients. The students had fun making a new snack together, and laughing and learning from small mistakes. One student was shocked to find he’d accidentally left his plastic spoon in the quesadilla!
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
Tips from The Child Mind Institute
When a child is upset about failing, try not to brush off their concerns, even if the failure seems small to you. Instead, validate their feelings: “I see you’re really disappointed. I know you wanted to do better.”
Encourage kids to use their failures as learning experiences. What could helpful next steps look like? What can they do differently next time?
Failure is part of life — and that’s okay! Make sure kids know that it’s normal for things to go wrong sometimes, and model healthy coping by telling them about times you had to move on after failure.
