Are you feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns? We uncovered so many “hows” yesterday with Margaret Boersma on Taking the Helm with VoiceAmerica. She’s an expert in social and emotional intelligence with over 35 years of experience in education. Margaret’s mission is to bring emotional intelligence to schools, families, and workplaces to enable them to flourish.
While modeling compassion for ourselves and others, we dove into:
💥 Margaret’s parent wellness scale - How can we move to “thriving”?
💥 Games that teach Social Emotional Literacy. I enjoyed being Margaret’s guinea pig to demonstrate one.
💥 How can we support anxious kids?
💥 What are some conflict resolution strategies that work for parents and families?
💥 How to teach empathy to our children.
At the end of the podcast, Margaret offers a FREE ebook called, The Thriving Teacher Technique with directions to a specific set of interactive games with kids practicing social and emotional skills such as taking turns, problem-solving, listening and building resilience.
