All children completed a ‘5 finger of safety’ sheet. Students wrote down 5 trusted adults they can go to at school. I recommend you talk to your children about 5 trusted adults they can talk to at home.
In our Chill Out room we provide children with opportunities to self-regulate and to remain calm at times they feel angry, mad or sad. It is also a place to go when they feel unsafe or worried. Instead of punishing children who struggle to regulate their emotions, we have established a calming Chill Out room where children can go to re-center, calm down or chill out. Children can get overwhelmed by big emotions in their tiny bodies, whether it's frustration or anger or sadness this provides them an appropriate outlet. We all know big emotions can escalate into yelling, shouting, name calling, lashing out, tantrums and even physical attacks which we do not want.
