Peer Support
In Peer Support this week we introduced a 3 step model to encourage resilient
responses; Pause, Plan, Proceed. The children took part in an activity to identify their
feelings and the immediate effects on their bodies; like butterflies in their stomachs.
The normalcy of feelings was acknowledged and the importance of being proactive was
stressed. The girls learned that pausing when they are emotional is helpful.
Pausing gives children space to see a situation more accurately before planning a
response. They can do this by being still, taking a deep breath or counting to ten.
