I just taught a lesson to 2nd graders about solvable vs. unsolvable worries. Then they made a worry sack (a.k.a brown paper bag with "___'s worry sack" on it.) They are supposed to write down their worry. Put it in the bag. Put the bag under their pillow (some of my students told me they don't get a pillow. ::tears::.) Look at it in the morning and see if they came up with a strategy or, throw it away if they decided it was unsolvable.
As a teacher I struggle with stress a lot obviously. But, we can't forget that our students do too. We need to teach our next generation to handle stress. We need to be able to handle stress ourselves in a healthy way to be able to teach them.
Thank you.
