We often teach children to be kind to others. Do we teach them to be kind to themselves? What should they tell themselves when they feel sad or miserable? Here are few interactive worksheets that nurtures their self-compassion! Download PDF from link below

The most common response I get is, “You are a psychologist and you should not get angry!” or “I don’t understand how being a psychologist you can be emotional?!” When I shared this to my students, their response was empathetic. I’m so proud of my bunch ♥️

“Ma’am! Just because you are a psychologist, people can’t say that you can’t express anger or cry. You are a human being too. Psychologists also have emotions!” - Students of my class (PYP 5)

IB sure develops empathetic, caring and open minded human beings!

The discussion somehow lead to who goes to a psychologists to seek help. They reflected that anybody who needs help can go. Then I shared about my life. I told them about how people around me always accuse me for expressing my emotions.

I don’t have high, low, or in-the-middle students.

I only have where-they-are students.

And that’s where I meet them.

CURIOSITY LIGHTS UP INQUIRY!
@kjinquiry Your strategies for inquiry based learning are wonderful 😁

Haha! This is such a wonderful provocation!! 😁

[Inga Bela @inga_bela]

Nothing can beat the power of powerful, authentic provocation on sparking students’ curiosity. To start the unit on Healthy Choices, a teacher was ‘found’ sleeping in the hallway, surrounded by evidence of his unhealthy choices, which generated many wonderings. #aisgz #pypchat

[Sindhuja Balaguru @SindhujBalaguru]

When students take #action, we realise the power of inquiry! PYP 3 enjoys writing down their happy learning moments and adding it to the HAPPINESS BOX that they have created. @ElaGreenSchool #IBPYP #inquirers

I either consciously invite things or become conscious of what I have invited. Be it planned or loaded with surprises, awareness is bliss ❤️

Your life is a reflection of what you hold inside you, and what you hold inside you is always under your control.

As we walk into classrooms remember these our the students who sit in front of us...they need more than just content #infusedclassroom #caedchat #edchat #stuvoice #inquirrymkndset

[The Secret @thesecret]

Pure love has no conditions or boundaries. Love does not hold back. Love gives all the time and asks for nothing in return.

[The Secret @thesecret]

Blame, resentment, whining, and complaining are excuses we make when we're not living the life we came here to live.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

When the adults in a school acknowledge & greet each other kindly & genuinely, it’s a clear modeling & example for students to do the same to their fellow classmates.

This is #culture building one salutation at a time.
