Throughout the school day, teachers incorporate GEM chats as a way to connect students, fostering positive mental health and well-being. These chats foster conversations and reflections on gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness, enabling students to develop a more positive mindset and better cope with challenges.
GEM chats are not only something that can be used at school, but we also encourage families to use them to ignite powerful conversations in their households, inspiring the practical application of GEM principles in daily life.
Incorporating these conversations into daily routines, such as during family dinners or car rides, can help children develop emotional awareness and resilience.
Please find below some examples of GEM Chats to use with your children.
1. Gratitude
2. Empathy
3. Mindfulness
4. Emotional Literacy
Enjoy your chats & have a wonderful weekend!
