SELF REGULATION

“Self-regulation is the ability to manage your own energy states, emotions, behaviours and attention, in ways that are socially acceptable and help achieve positive goals, such as maintaining good relationships, learning and maintaining wellbeing.” Stuart Shanker

The anxious learner needs to be at school. Every damn day.

slide-60
SLIDE 60

Being at school does not always mean being in the classroom

slide-61
SLIDE 61

Being in the classroom does not mean doing the same work

Breathing Break: (read in a calm, quiet voice: hold phone 15 cm from your mouth - hold chime 30 cm from the phone) We are going to begin our breathing break now. - pause and wait 15 seconds When you hear the chime, listen to the sound as long as you can. sound the chime - wait 15 seconds Focus on your breath. -wait 15 seconds When you hear the chime again, listen as long as you can. - ring chime and wait for the sound to finish Thank you for being mindful today (in a calm, quiet voice)

slide-76

Self control is NOT the same as Self-Regulation

Self regulation allows you to have enough energy is your battery to have self control Examples – lack of sleep Burns energy to deal with stress Self control is using our thinking (PFC) to inhibit impulses, to pay attention, do what others want from us. Hard to do if our battery is drained. Self control is a result of being self regulated

Let’s teach them the skills

 So they can use their brains and not flip their lids 
 and get in the flow and joy of life and learning
