Self-Compassion Classroom Videos and Digital Lesson

HELLO POWERFUL YOU EDUCATORS,

School Counselors love February because KINDNESS is in the air! We teach kids how to use kind hands, kind feet, and kind words. As a gift from the book Powerful You Primary, please download one of the twenty-six social-emotional lessons. Lesson L, Loving Logan, teaches children to love themselves just the way they are.

IMPORTANT QUESTION:

The important question of the month is, “How do you show kindness towards yourself?” Do you speak kind words to yourself when you make a mistake? Do you use your hands to give yourself a hug when needed? Do your kind feet take you to places that bring you joy? How do you talk silently in your head to yourself when feel lonely or afraid? Do you beat yourself up or give yourself a bit of love? I just read a great book from Kristin Neff, Phd. titled Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. It is an empowering read!
