Resilient Kids

 

For this blog we had to watch the video on resilient kids. I really enjoyed this video I learned from it as well. Thinking back to when I was in elementary school and even middle and high school having time and learning these techniques would have been very helpful. As Vanessa said it is easy for children to get all worked up but they do not necessarily know how to “calm down” like they are often told to do. Being taught how to calm down in situation will really help children. The schools that are implementing these techniques are already seeing higher grades from students. I also really enjoyed this video because I learned how to calm down like they talked about. Using the techniques like Vanessa and the children in the video discussed can help in ways of relieving many stresses in your life.

               Watching this video also reminded me how important it is to relieve stress and to calm down when you have a lot going on in your life. Stress is not good to have in your life so if you can do simple things like taking a step back and breathing it will help you in the long run. Finding something that helps relieve the stress in your life like yoga, running, or even talking to someone about what’s going on are good things to do.
