How can we teach our students to regulate their emotions, thoughts and behaviors? How can we support them to develop coping skills that they can rely on during stressful situations. Managing your emotions and stress is an important skill that we can teach our students. Some of the ways to teach our students to identify and manage their emotions is teaching them how to use mantras. The purpose of this activity is to provide students with examples of mantras and to support them to develop their own mantra that they can use to cope with stressful situations.
