Social-Emotional Learning Lesson 2: Coping Strategies
The second step to teaching a communicator about healthy social-emotional behaviors is to teach them how to redirect big emotions and advocate for their needs. This is a simple and young-learner friendly way to teach how to use our senses to redirect big emotions until we're ready to communicate. There is an emphasis on each sense and how to use small practices including our favorite sounds, feelings, tastes, sights and smells. Finally it wraps up with how to advocate for ourselves when needing time to regulate. This is the second lesson to a series of lessons that will be available soon here on Support the Spectrum!
