College and Career Tips
December College Tip - Self Regulation
Students need to learn how to successfully manage difficult emotions and experiences in their life. These skills will be helpful to them in the future when they face obstacles. In this activity, student will be able to understand it is their responsibility to proactively and continuously monitor their emotional well-being.
At home activity:
- Ask you child to write answer the question "I feel stressed when...". You can have them say this out loud or write it down. Ask you child to do this for three different situations/experiences they find stressful.
- Play the "Two Minute Guided Meditation to Relive Stress" and ask your child how they are feeling physically and emotionally. Once the breathing exercise concludes, ask your child to share about that experience with you.
- Have your student read "For Teens: Creating Your Personal Stress Management Plan". Ask them to underline or highlight important words and phrases.
- Ask them to write four takeaways from the reading they can apply to their own life.
