Editor's Notes
- #3 Introduce ‘Take a Moment’. It helps us to get in tune with our feelings and stops us dwelling on the past and worrying about the future – so we can get more out of the day-to-day.
- #5 When difficult or challenging things happen to us, it causes us to react and behave a certain way, e.g. when someone knocks into us (we get angry) or when we make a mistake in a test (we get upset) http://www.thinkstockphotos.co.uk/image/stock-illustration-storm-cloud/519961060
- #6 Link to the importance of the SHANARRI indicators
- #7 When things don’t go well we need to think about different ways to promote good feelings. Sometimes it is up to our self to change our attitude.
- #8 An ‘up’ feeling is like when you have ‘scored’ a goal in the football game at the weekend or when you had fun at your friend’s birthday party. Can you think of a time you had an ‘up’ feeling?
- #9 A ‘down’ feeling is like when you hear your Mum and Dad arguing or when a toddler loses their favourite teddy bear. (Try to ensure a range of examples e.g. falling out with a friend, moving house, a family break up, a bereavement, being bullied…) Down feelings are also important. Without down feelings as warnings (e.g. fear, worry and anger) we would be less able to protect ourselves from possible danger or to stand up for ourselves. Some down feelings (e.g. embarrassment, disappointment and sadness) also motivate us to think deeply about some of the difficult and challenging situations we sometimes have to cope with (e.g. failing, loss and rejection). This type of reflection helps us to learn from our experiences and become more able to make good decisions and problem solve.
- #12 It is a rainy and windy day on the river of life. The water is choppy and the boat is getting tossed around, water is pouring into the boat and Skipper can’t direct the boat in the direction he wants. Despite all his best efforts, Skipper’s boat is being blown off course and he is heading for the rocks! Skipper is stressed. When difficult or challenging things happen to us, it causes us to react and behave a certain way, e.g. when someone knocks into us (we get angry) or when we make a mistake in a test (we get upset) http://www.thinkstockphotos.co.uk/image/stock-illustration-storm-cloud/519961060
- #13 Think about the last time you were in a stressful situation e.g. performing on a stage, taking part in a race, starting a new school. Did stress help?
- #14 The first signs of being overwhelmed are changes in behaviour – you may become angry or want to hide away
- #17 Ground yourself by being more aware of you feet on the ground (dropping your anchor)…. and breathe in, 2,3,4,5 …..and breathe out, 2,3,4,5 (repeat a few times)….this will give you the space to think Becoming mindful helps us to take control of our emotions…. Encourage the children to breathe in …..2,3,4,5 and breathe out…..2,3,4,5 http://http://www.thinkstockphotos.co.uk/image/stock-illustration-anchor-is-placed/452672641
- #18 Feedback from children should cover these areas By doing some of the helpful activities regularly you will be able to manage your feelings better.

- #55 Introduce song When we go through hard times, the uncomfortable feelings we feel can often dominate all parts of our life, and it is hard to believe that things can ever get better. This song suggests that the rain does not keep falling forever, and that even when our “hearts are broken” there is still hope of better times ahead and that “things will get better”. Ideal times to use the song This song can be sung in assembly during difficult times e.g. when someone is ill. You could listen to it in circle time when thinking about when life is tough, such as when bullying occurs. Encourage children to sing the chorus to themselves when they are sad, lonely or upset.
