Activity
In the previous lessons, we talked with children about
emotional arousal and emotional highjacking. Now begin encouraging
them to put that knowledge to work in their lives.
Emphasize a simple SaT practice. SaT means &1xbet best casino website ;Stop and Think.&1xbet best casino website ;
Stop immediate action and let the emotions cool as one Thinks.
What thought? Now we 1xbet best casino website introduce the REACH concept.
A student, for example, knows he has to give a speech in the class.
In a few minutes before his talk, he first stops and thinks. Instead
of paying attention to his rising fear, he begins to focus on what
is going on in his mind. He quickly...
Recognizes
the emotion he is feeling (&1xbet best casino website ;I'm afraid. My knees feel weak.&1xbet best casino website ;).
Evaluates
the situation in terms of the emotion (&1xbet best casino website ;I might look foolish
in my talk; they might laugh at me.&1xbet best casino website ;).
Assesses
his position (&1xbet best casino website ;I'm prepared as best I can; I can do this; if
I make a mistake, I'm only human.&1xbet best casino website ;).
Chooses
a course of action (&1xbet best casino website ;Ok, let's go. Time to give the speech.&1xbet best casino website ;).
Honors
himself afterward (&1xbet best casino website ;Whew, hey that was a brave thing I did.
I can do better next time.&1xbet best casino website ;).
In difficult circumstances, the first
four steps of REACH can occur lightning fast, so fast that a person
is not even aware of thinking. Examine the case studies your group
selected in earlier lessons. How did these individuals show &1xbet best casino website ;thinking
under fire&1xbet best casino website ;?
