Bonus: I make sure I'm taking care of myself and have a plan for stress in the moment and a prevention plan. #teachmindful

A5: Stop, Breathe, and Think is an app with a check-in and meditations. There's also a kids' version. Great for beginners. #teachmindful

A3 and A4: I've taught these strategies to small groups struggling with stress, anger, etc. Ss talk through scenarios. #teachmindful

@DonnaWeth I think modeling is the most powerful way to teach these skills.

A2: Brain breaks can be great transitions between activities and allow students time to process and center themselves. #teachmindful

A1: Team and class building and creating a community where all students have a chance to contribute can help prevent nerves. #teachmindful
