Inner Coach Statement Poster:
Remote learning can pose many challenges for children and families. One idea we talk about in Guidance classes is the Inner Coach (positive thoughts) vs. the Inner Critic (negative thoughts). These two “voices” are thoughts we all can have inside of our head - we make these up for ourselves, sometimes slowly over time. We talked about this concept in our blog last month-so take a peek a few weeks back if you need a review :)
Activity: (Inspired by a student at Abbot!)
- Create an Inner Coach statement poster.
- Include photos of things that bring you joy (ie, family photos, pictures of animals that you like, etc.).
- Write Inner Coach statements to coach you on as you do your work! (examples may include “You Got This!”, “You’re half-way there, almost done!”)
- Take a break, and take a look at your poster! The poster can be by your computer work space, or in a different area of your living space where you could take a break.
Parent Tip:
We know caregivers and parents are working very hard right now, here’s a little acknowledgement and inspiration from Elmo’s dad! (Did you know he has a dad?)
