SKILL #1 COMPOSURE: “Being the person you want other to become.”
Principle #3: Start the day the brain smart way and implement stress reduction activities.
- Activity to unite (pledge, singing, etc.)
- Activity to disengage the stress response (involves deep breathing and stretching)
- Activity to connect the children to the teacher and each other (through touch or eye contact, school family song, etc.)
- Activity to commit oneself to learning
