Teaching self-regulation tools helps the thinking part of their brain, the pre-fontal cortex, to remain engaged and in charge. Many of our students need extra support in this area, often coming to school already in a state of fear, worry & chronic stress. Until we help students manage and relate to these challenging emotional experiences, they will have a hard time learning the academic tools that students need to be successful in and out of school. #SchoolCounselors #Teachers
