Second 9 Weeks Social Emotional Skill: Self-Management
What is Self Management?
Definition: A person’s success in controlling his/ her emotions and behaviors, especially in new and challenging situations.
The Why: If we don’t learn to manage ourselves, others will do it for us. Self-managers have more opportunity, freedom, and self-respect.
Key Concepts:
Humans can only control themselves.
Behavior is a choice based on one’s perceptions about what happens in the outside world.
Emotions come and go, and I can let them pass.
Mind, Body, and Spirit work together.
Brains can grow new pathways.
Movement helps me manage my emotions and behavior.
My response is my responsibility.
I have my own brain - I make my own choices.
