Student Wellbeing

Wellbeing – Week 3

This week in Wellbeing groups, we have been focusing on small and big problems. Students are learning to identify the difference between a small problem and a big problem and how to respond accordingly. 

Problems come in different sizes. Small problems can be taken care of quickly and can be solved on our own or with the help of another person. Kids can help other kids solve small problems. Medium problems take more time to solve and require more help. Usually adults help solve medium problems. However, it’s expected that kids help solve medium problems with the adults. Finally, big problems take a lot of time to take care of and require a lot of help from others. When big problems happen, even adults need help from other adults.

As students learn to identify emotions in themselves and others, it is a good idea to start the conversation about how we respond to situations when we are upset.

We encourage you to continue these conversations at home with your children.
