When you attempt to modify a child’s behavior, you are addressing the symptoms.

• You know better than that.

When you help a child modify their own heart, you are addressing the cause.

• What are your thoughts

Emotional Intelligence In Action

1. Start with an emotional backpack check-in (Above/Below The Line, How Full Is Your Bucket?).

• 2. Practice square breathing.
• 3. Create expectations. Share your commitments, then

allow the students to share theirs.

• 4. Take a brain break (shake it out, jumping jacks, etc…)
• 5. Create connections by sharing yourself. Sometimes this

requires being vulnerable.
