Know Yourself
Knowing what you are feeling and being able to name it is called this SEL skill
Self-awareness
Taking slow controlled breaths is one strategy that can help your body do this when you're stressed
Calm down / Regulate
Giving someone your attention, avoiding interruptions, and showing you're following the conversation are parts of this skill.
Active listening
Understanding another person's feelings or perspective is called this.
Empathy
Before making an important decision, you should think about possible results, also known as these.
What are consequences
Give me an example of self-awareness.
Good job :)
Studying all night, skipping meals, and getting very little sleep can make stress feel this way
Worse / more intense
Saying “I felt left out when I wasn't included” instead of “You guys are terrible friends” is an example of this communication technique.
What is an "I" statement
Two friends disagree about what to do. Instead of trying to “win,” they discuss options and find an agreement. This is called this.
Compromise
Your friends want you to skip class, but you know it could lead to trouble. Saying “No, I'm not doing that” demonstrates this skill.
Assertiveness
These are the beliefs or thoughts you have about your own abilities, personality, and worth.
Self-perceptions / self-concept
Going for a walk, listening to music, exercising, or talking to someone you trust are examples of these
Healthy coping strategies
This communication style involves expressing your thoughts and needs clearly while still respecting the other person.
Assertive communication
Your friend tells you something privately. Unless there is a serious safety concern, you should respect this.
Privacy / Confidentially
A useful decision-making process is: identify the problem, consider options, think about consequences, make a choice, and then do this afterward.
Evaluate the result
Your friend is naturally confident speaking in front of groups, while you are better at organizing information. What is this called?
Recognizing strengths
Your stress level is so high that you cant focus on an assignment. Taking a short break before returning to it can help you do this
Reset / Refocus
Someone sends you a text that seems rude. Before getting angry, you should remember that written messages can be missing this important part of communication.
Tone / body language / context
Someone keeps making jokes about you after you've told them to stop. A healthy next step is to clearly communicate your boundary and, if needed, seek help from this type of person.
Trusted adult
Your friends are pressuring you to do something you don't want to do. Which matters more: fitting in or making a choice that aligns with your values and safety?
Your values and safety
You receive a low grade and immediately think "I'm just bad at this" Replacing that thought with "I haven't mastered this yet" demonstrate what type of mindset?
Growth (mindset)
Name one difference between a healthy coping strategy and an unhealthy coping strategy
A healthy strategy help you manage the problem / emotion without creating additional harm
Your friend says, “Nobody cares about me.” Give one response that shows empathy without immediately trying to solve their problem.
"That sounds really difficult. Do you want to talk about it?
During an argument, both people are becoming too angry to communicate productively. The best next step may be to do this before continuing the conversation.
Take a break / cool down
You make a poor decision and experience a negative consequence. Instead of only blaming yourself, you examine what happened and use it to make a better decision next time. This demonstrates this skill.
Learning from mistakes / self-reflection
