Co-regulation is not only sharing our steady nervous system but can INCLUDE academic work! Often times, children and adolescents will look misbehaved before they look stupid in front of their peers, so how can we co-regulate their nervous systems with academic assignments?

In addition to the Personal Stress Management Plan, we have developed a Balanced Thought Journal for students to use when navigating the transition from secondary school. Find these resources as part of the Navigating the Challenge of Change lesson plan for secondary educators.

That’s a wrap for this year’s SCDSB Mental Health and Well-Being Well Being Conference! Star #1 Got to work with some amazing humans, Star #2 igniting Student Voice, Wish: Hope next year’s grade 7s get this amazing opportunity. Thanks to all involved for including me this opportunity 👚💗
