Focusing on Coping Skills
It's important for students to be able to talk about how they are feeling, identify what emotion they are feeling, and learn different coping skills that will help them regulate their emotions and feel calm. To change a negative coping strategy/behavior into a positive coping strategy, you should always talk with your child(ren) when you're both calm.
Try one of the Emotional Regulation Plans that are attached below. These plans are designed for school, but can easily be adapted to use at home. Create a plan as a team- their input is important. Then, the next time your child is upset, remind them of the plan you created and to try one of the coping skills to feel better.

Online Learning Tips:
Find a comfortable study space where you can focus (preferably in a quiet area with limited distractions).
Keep study space and daily schedule as consistent as possible.
During classes/work time, put away/silence phones and social media, and turn the TV off.
Have your schedule.
Make a daily to-do list or keep track of assignments in an agenda.
Complete one task at a time. Don’t try to multitask.
Set alarms before each class (5-10 minutes before class starts).
Take short (10-15 minute) breaks throughout the day. Breaks help recharge our mind and helps us refocus. Being in front of the computer or working for too long makes us more tired and less productive. Set timers for breaks.
If technology is not working, take a deep breath and know that we understand. It’s okay!
Ask for help. We’re in this together and we are all here to support each other. Don’t be afraid to reach out to your teacher or counselor.
Try to stay positive! Take care of your physical & mental health. Talk to someone when you’re feeling overwhelmed, upset, or worried.
