Friendly reminder, it's ok to take a break! There are benefits to taking breaks. Such as increased productivity, improved mental well-being, and it provides a moment to open up your creativity. Instead of thinking, how can I afford to take a break right now....think how can I not afford to?....⁣

#challengeaccepted This challenge was started by Turkish women who want to raise awareness for the growing femicide in Turkey. A black and white photo is how the media there shows women that are found dead in Turkey. Women supporting women, not just in social media but also in real life. Thank you to my friend @teachingzoo for challenging me, you are an inspirational mom, teacher, and human. I challenge @musiccity_schoolcounselor my friend and a total mom boss who is so supportive and caring. I am grateful for all the strong women in my life and pray for the women of Turkey. 🖤

Everyone is feeling ALL the emotions right now 😀😢😡😳 teaching kids about emotions has never been more important. My Emotions Book teaches students to identify physical, cognitive, and behavioral expressions of emotions. ⁣
⁣
My Emotions Book has 2 versions, one for 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 and one for 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 (more descriptive). Choose the version that suits your students best. First, you review the characteristics of the emotion and then students complete their own characteristics page of how they express that emotion. ⁣
⁣
Students will also learn different 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 and choose the ones they will use to control their emotions. Also includes 2 Emotions posters and 4 different 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 forms....plus a 💻𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 for google classroom. ⁣

Kids are watching 👀 Make sure you show them the behavior you want to see in a future adult. Children learn and imitate behaviors by watching and listening to others. This includes the adults in their life. My toddler reminds me of this all the time! Like when I catch myself yelling "stop yelling"....oops! 😂 There is so much going on in the world, we can make it easier by being kind to one another. ⁣

Day 2 of the TpT Virtual Conference and I am loving it even though I have to fit it in between nap time for the kids. 🤣 I like to think I am a life long learner, taking notes with my flair pens and have my highlighters close by. Feels great to learn and grow with other tpt authors. #tptforward2020

Have you ever been caught up trying to explain a p

Have you ever been caught up trying to explain a perspective to someone and it became impossible because they lack empathy? Developing empathy is crucial for establishing relationships and being compassionate. It involves experiencing another person’s point of view, rather than just one’s own viewpoint. Research shows that parents who promote and model empathy raise more empathetic children. Easy ways to promote empathy in young children is to...(you guessed it!)...MODEL the behavior yourself. Show them through your own actions and expressions of empathy. When you are watching a T.V. show and the person falls and hurts themselves, say to your child "I can imagine that falling like that would make that person feel sad or even angry, maybe they felt embarrassed if someone else saw that makes me feel sad for them too...what do you think they would be feeling". Another easy time to do this is during bedtime when you are reading their favorite story, ask them how they think the character might be feeling and why. Over time, your child will be able to ask those questions themselves and will be practicing empathy.⁣

Courage is such an important characteristic for ki

Courage is such an important characteristic for kids to develop. Having courage can be hard and often puts you in an unpopular position. Standing up for what is right takes courage. I love this book because it shows diverse people in history who showed courage and helped change the world. Check out my stories for a preview of the inside of the book 🌏

Have you seen the Sesame Street town hall on stand

Have you seen the Sesame Street town hall on standing up to racism? It has great tips for kids and parents. If you have a kiddo with a short attention span (like I do) I recommend the part that Elmo talks to his dad about racism (:37-3:07), they do a great job of explaining it to littles. I also LOVED the part when Abby Cadabby shares a story about how her friend Big Bird was a victim of prejudice, and how she stood up for him and showed empathy. Click the link in my bio to see both of those clips on CNN. ⁣

We rise by lifting others up⬆. This is what being a school counselor means to me. I lift up my students with support and love with hopes that they will be better off because of it, even if just for a day. Helping others in this way, is not a self-less act because I get so much joy from it. I challenge you to think about how you are lifting someone up today. Maybe it's someone in your family, community, or a stranger online. Lift them up with kindness, you will feel the benefits. ❤⁣

Do what makes you happy😀. For me that means hug

Do what makes you happy😀. For me that means hugging puppies 🐶! But if I can't get a hold of some puppies then I have to settle for my self care routine. This has changed significantly since I became a mom. I like to read a book, it settles my mind, before I had kids I would read for 2 hours a night but now it's more like 15 minutes if I'm lucky. But I'll take it! And I don't skip it because if I do, I get burnt out real quick. What do you do for self care?

In a time where things are uncertain and full of change...love more. The world can use a bit more love, and a lot less judgements. Right now, it seems like everyone has an opinion on what is "right" but maybe what is right for you is not right for someone else. Be open to the idea that you can love someone and show someone love by accepting the differences you both have between you. Lead with love 💛⁣

The two main books being used in my house right now. 🖐 Hands are not for hitting and 🗣Voices are not for yelling. I love how simple the wording is for my toddler to understand and how it tells them what hands and voices are meant to be used for. My favorite part is the calm down breathing when we are mad. Short preview in my stories ⬆️ with assistance from 👶Baby Caleb.😆

Facebook mom groups are all the rage right now in the mom world, but holy moly can the moms sometimes be downright MEAN! If you ever wondered how kids become bullies, check out a mom group and see all the bullying that goes on from ADULTS. Yikes, they need a school counselor up in there to moderate 😂⁣
