Respectful Relationships

As Term 2 draws to a close, in Respectful Relationships lessons students finish the term learning about Stress Management. Children and young people experience a range of personal, social and work-related stressors in their everyday lives, both positive and negative. Activities within this topic have an explicit focus on teaching positive approaches to stress management. Assisting students to recognise their personal signs and symptoms of stress, and to develop strategies that will help them to deal with stress effectively, will help students cope with future challenges. The activities focus on the ways in which self-calming strategies can be used to manage stressful situations, building on coping strategies already covered earlier in the year.

We strongly encourage you to continue the conversation about our Respectful Relationships topics at home.
