As a contentious election season approaches and ongoing world events continue to flare, it’s normal for young people to want to engage in charged topics and issues they see in their community and the world at large. Try these methods to help young people express themselves, listen to others, and share opinions respectfully: 1. Help young people feel comfortable by creating a trusting environment. This forms a backbone from which youth can start to express their ideas and thoughts, and then focus their attention when their peers share. 2. Build boundaries. These baselines help young people feel safe as they start to think about sharing and having a conversation — or even respectful disagreements. 3. Learn how to pick an argument. If you can’t understand what arguments are being presented on both sides, how can you decide what you think about it? Young people of all ages can build this ability with practice. #ElevatingYouthVoices #SELatHome #HealingLeadingChanging #LearnWithBrightPromises #BuildingBrighterFutures #FightInequity #StudySpotlight #KnowledgeIsPower #LearnToUnlearn #EducationForEquity #TogetherWithBrightPromises #MakingADifference #CommunityBrightSpots #BrighterCommunities Summarized from “3 strategies to help students learn to respectfully disagree” by Lauren Barack, published on K-12 Dive, featuring advice from experts at @caselorg and @facinghistory

🎙📚 podcast buzz 📚🎙 This episode is so touching, and sadly, a situation every family will have to face sooner or later when a loved one gets sick or passes away. Our amazing guest Sarah Allison opens up about writing her book, The Memory Keepers, to help her young daughters in understanding their grandmother's battle with Alzheimer's. What to do when the dreaded questions come up like: "What's wrong with Mimi?" "Why doesn't Mimi remember me?" "Is Mimi going to get better?" These kinds of conversations are exactly why I think books can be so important to incorporate, even before questions arise, or after, to show them relatable characters, and similar scenarios to help them understand that their family is definitely not alone in dealing with heartbreak, and to help demystify what's to come. 🎙 LISTEN at BloomingRoseKids.com/episodes + on Apple, Spotify and YouTube! 💻 READ all about it at BloomingRoseKids.com/blog + all book & resource links 📚 Sarah's Book Pick: The Memory Keepers 📚 Lauren's Book Picks: The Perfect Shelter by Clare Helen Welsh (navigating sibling illness) Feathers From Above by @KathleenDavisBooks (signs from our angels above) ✏️ Blooming SEL Resource: The Memory Box - beauty of creating memories and collecting mementos Special thanks to @author.sarah.allison for being so open and honest in sharing her family's story.

Black students are suspended far more frequently than their white peers for comments and behaviors tagged as disobedience or disruption, which can include dress code violations, talking back to teachers and being too noisy. A recent study by the Hechinger Report found that school administrators suspended Black students for behaviors labeled as defiant, disruptive or disorderly, at rates well above those for white students, according to data collected from nine states over five school years. Behavior perceived as disrespectful or threatening in one classroom may be considered tolerable in another, depending on who’s listening and who’s speaking. That’s when racial and cultural differences between educators and students can come into play. Researchers say that racial disparities inside schools tend to reflect what’s happening in society as a whole and that income level does not explain the discrepancies. So what can we do about it? Experience and training can provide adults with tools to address young people's conduct without suspending them. Self-regulation, especially in stressful situations, is also key for adults. Are you a teacher, parent, or caregiver looking for tools to help resolve conflict and reinforce positive behavior in children and youth?

✏️📘 for the Q&A 📘✏️ You've probably (hopefully ;) seen me talk about our monthly Blooming Mantras before, including our new downloadable 5-month collection... But do you as a parent or educator, still have doubts, questions or hesitations about what they're all about?? In this quick YouTube video, I go over the WHAT, WHY and HOW about incorporating mantras, words of affirmation and confidence-boosting practices in your home or classroom! ✨ What words or affirmations did you need to hear as a kid?! ✨ LINK IN BIO & BELOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G01Xnp2WIBM&list=PLXM2hp6fcApx-UDcmBQIpksHz_ZFYk_B6&index=6 #SELforkids #kidsmantras #mantrasforkids #mantrasforkidsandparents #letstalkSEL #SELathome #SELinclass #kidsbookstagram #authorsofinstagram #kidsbooks #kidslit #picturebooks #childrensbooks #bookseries #childrensseries #bookstagram #behindthescenes #behindtheprocess #authorprocess #publishingprocess
✏️ author's scoop: bubble kids We use the term "bubble kids" in education when talking about state testing - it refers to identifying students that are teetering on the edge of passing vs failing, and focusing on them to bump the scale in their favor. But I can't help but think of the term bubble kids when thinking about SEL and student behavior in the classroom as well. 🍎 As a teacher, you are professionally educated to TEACH 🍏 As a counselor, you are professionally trained to identify & COUNSEL (not discipline, as many are used) 🍎 As a therapist, you are professionally trained to provide therapeutic SUPPORT 🍏 As a psychologist, you are professionally educated to diagnose & TREAT disorders So, why are so many kids slipping through the cracks, and our teachers are bearing the brunt of identifying, counseling, supporting, and trying to diagnose to find support tools for students that need more professional help? I know all of the books, resources, classroom management 101 and well-meaning conversations can help a lot of the students, and every teacher wishes to create those relationships with each and every student. But some students simply need more. Let's use SEL in the classroom 🌟 to support and guide our stable students 🌟 to identify bubble students that can benefit from on campus support 🌟 but also to identify and provide additional services to those kiddos that need professional intervention I've had two conversations this week alone with teachers at their wit's end with severe behavior issues, and what a helpless, hopeless and frustrating feeling to know that things either can't, won't or "might" be done when you know a child is hurting. 📷 by Jillian Reed Photography #crisisineducation #kidsincrisis #teachersincrisis #studentbehavior #studendbehaviorproblems #kidsbookstagram #authorsofinstagram #kidsbooks #kidslit #picturebooks #childrensbooks #bookseries #childrensseries #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #storytime #forparents #forkids #kidsDIY #kidsemotions #kidshealth #characterbuilding #SEL #SELskills #SELsupportforkids #SELforkids #SELathome #SELinclass

✏ author's scoop: mini milestones I know there's been a lot of talk lately about setting goals, looking into 2024 and leveling up, but recently I had a realization about looking back. It's typical to celebrate BIG milestones, but what about the retrospective moments of dreams that have turned into reality, of visions that are coming to fruition, or small victories on the road to the end game? Mini milestones as of late: ✨ walking into a networking event greeted with sweet and familiar faces & hugs around the neck remembering when I first started out I didn't know a soul in this small biz community ✨ people reaching out weekly saying they've shared our info with author visit contacts in the area that might be interested, when I'm usually pulling teeth to get a foot in the door ✨ being asked to participate in local events before I have to forge and intro and invite myself ;) ✨ having the courage and confidence to start a brand new journey into podcasting knowing now, that I'm capable of figuring things out along the way When Blooming Rose was just a figment of my imagination I really doubted whether I'd be able to ever pull the trigger and turn it into a real book and make real connections, and to look at where we are venturing now is so exciting, but I don't ever want to forget how far I've come. What's a mini milestone you can celebrate in your life or business TODAY?! #kidsbookstagram #authorsofinstagram #kidsbooks #kidslit #picturebooks #childrensbooks #bookseries #childrensseries #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #storytime #forparents #forkids #SEL #SELskills #SELsupportforkids #SELforkids #SELathome #SELinclass #teachersofinstagram #readaloud #lessonplanning #forteachers #SEL #SELskills
✏ author's scoop: I will be light ✨ One of my favorite, if not the favorite, song I've loved for a long time now is "I Will Be Light" by @matisyahu - and, if you know me well, you'll probably know what importance I put on music to sway and soothe our moods (hence, Blooming Rose Finds Her Jam coming up soon! ;) But, it's now a simple phrase I find myself referring to often... Instead of darkness, I choose light. Instead of hate, I choose love. Instead of anxiety, I choose peace. Instead of fear, I choose hope. Instead of rage, I choose patience. Instead of despair, I choose positivity. Because me and my life are perfect - nope! But, because it is a choice. And it takes practice, which I'm still working on. This week's mantra is about teaching our kids to have an open mind and open mindset about different situations, yet I feel a lot of us adults were never taught or given examples to learn the same. So, we start now. ✨ it's choosing to breathe and unclench my jaw after a chaotic morning ✨ it's choosing grace with myself over chores that didn't get done yesterday ✨ it's choosing to look at business "lows" as opportunities to learn ✨ it's choosing to ask for help before I get buried in my anxiety What challenges are you facing today, and how are you showing up to conquer them? *NOT pictured is the sunrise from this morning. This is an older pic because today is more rain and gloom, but I choose to make this a productive and positive day despite wanting to stay in bed all day - our intro podcast episode is not going to record itself! ;) **will link song in our stories, check it out if that's your kind of jam! #kidsbookstagram #authorsofinstagram #kidsbooks #kidslit #picturebooks #childrensbooks #bookseries #childrensseries #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #storytime #forparents #forkids #kidsDIY #kidsemotions #kidshealth #characterbuilding #SEL #SELskills #SELsupportforkids #SELforkids #SELathome #SELinclass

💜📚 for books & resources 📚💜 Some exciting ideas and growth for Blooming Rose Kids has been brewing for a few weeks now, and our vision is evolving into a crystal clear path. Keeping with the premise behind the book series from the beginning, which addresses the main concern I had when leaving the classroom back in 2017...I'm honing in on our books, supplemental resources, blog and possibly a podcast being a helm of SEL topics and resources to use both at home and in the classroom. ✨ Hoping to help spark hard conversations, the easy way. ✨ So, can we chat about SEL for a sec?! What is SEL - it's the growing focus of social-emotional learning in classrooms, and ideally in homes - educating and raising tiny humans is so much more than just teaching ABCs and 123s... Some of our book and podcast/blog topics would cover things like facing challenges, grief & loss, inclusion, anti-bullying, self-regulation, body image & self-confidence, and so much more... But I want to know... ✨ WHAT TOPICS ARE YOU MOST INTERESTED IN?? ✨ WHAT CONVERSATIONS DO YOU WANT TO HAVE AT HOME?? ✨ WHAT CONVERSATIONS DO YOU NEED TO HAVE IN THE CLASSROOM?? Help me, help you! It takes a village, y'all! 💜 #SELinclassroom #SELathome #SELtopics #SELpodcast #SELbookseries #SELbooks #hardconversations #booksforhardtopics #authorsofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #parentsofinstagram
Do you ever ask you child how their day was and only get a one word response?! Here are some other questions that will help you gather a little more insight to how their day was. #communicationiskey🔑 #selathome #theresnoplacelikecope #seahawkssoartosuccess
Parents, educators, and caregivers play a pivotal role in nurturing the social-emotional development of children. By embodying social-emotional learning (SEL) principles at home, we cultivate an environment that fosters growth and resilience. Nurturing social-emotional growth involves various skills and strategies, including: 👂 Practicing active listening: Engaging fully in conversations, demonstrating understanding, and encouraging further discussion through open-ended questions. 📚 Displaying emotional awareness and regulation: Recognizing and managing our own emotions, expressing them appropriately, and cultivating self-awareness. 🤝 Encouraging empathy and compassion: Promoting understanding of others' perspectives, teaching kindness, and valuing diversity. 🌱 Teaching conflict resolution and problem-solving skills: Developing effective communication, negotiation, and problem-solving techniques. 🌟 Reinforcing positive behaviors: Recognizing and acknowledging positive actions, providing feedback, and modeling positive behaviors. If you or your child need additional support, Mile High Psychiatry is here to help. We offer a range of mental health services for both children and adults, including medication management and therapy.

✅ Fact: Schools play a vital role in fostering SEL by providing a structured environment where students can learn and practice these essential skills. Collaborative efforts between home and school create a powerful foundation for students' overall development!

As important as it is to build Social Emotional Skills in the classroom, it is as important to foster those skills right at home! Every day is an opportunity to sow the seeds of emotional intelligence teaching children to embrace vulnerability, celebrate diversity, and radiate compassion. Through open conversations, playful activities, and shared experiences, parents and guardians can lay the foundation for their children to navigate the world with empathy. #SELatHome #SEL #socialemotionalwellness #socialemotionaldevelopment #socialemotionalskills #socialemotionaleducation #childdevelopment
Socio-emotional learning is the process of developing critical social and emotional competencies which benefit a person academically, professionally, and socially. It is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to: 🔻Develop healthy identities 🔻Manage emotions 🔻Achieve personal and collective goals 🔻Feel and show empathy for others 🔻Establish and maintain supportive relationships 🔻Make responsible and caring decisions Here are some ways you can help facilitate SEL at home this summer break! . . . . . . #RedbricksEducationFoundation #RedbricksSchool #RBSForTheWin #AhmedabadSchools #SchoolsInIndia #CommunityFirst #CommunityOverCompetition #ParentSupport #BrickByBrick #BestSchoolsInIndia #CommunityBuilding #ProjectBasedLearning #InquiryBasedLearning #Education #SchoolLife #SEL #SocioEmotionalLearning #SocialEmotionalLearning #SELatSchool #SELatHome #SELTips
SEL, social emotional learning? What is this buzz-word anyway? In the news, in political discussion, from our children's teachers, and maybe on social media... we see and hear Social Emotional Learning and think... How do you teach that? What even is that? Well, it is actually quite simple...SEL is an evidence based framework, originated by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). SEL encourages and develops self-reflection/awareness, social dynamic, goal setting, and decision making skills. We may have this false perception that SEL can only take place at school but in reality, SEL can be and should be discussed and practiced at home and in every day life! Let's all aboard the SEL train together and collectively support our children in building their social-emotional skills. #parentingSEL #SELforparents #emotionalintelligenceparenting #SELinparenting #parentingtips #familySEL #parentingmindfulness #socialskillsparenting #parentingwellness #SELathome #parentingeducation #SELawareness #parentingempowerment #SELstrategies #parentingmentalhealth

I could list a million things that went wrong this week and so can my kiddos and students-and there’s value in acknowledging those things and a place for that as well. However we have to make sure we name our wins -no matter how small and we especially have to make sure we name them for our children. They need those wins to fuel them forward. They need to be reminded that even though everything didn’t go as planned there are still some wins to take away. What’s your win from this week so far? What’s your child(ren)’s win from this week. Name it & Celebrate 🎉🥳😊🎉😊🥳 💡Great circle time, check in or transition activity. Have students popcorn and name their wins. #studentsuccessisourfocus #teachershortage #afterschoolprogram #rethinkafterschool #rethinkeducation #socialemotionallearning #selathome #socialemotionaldevelopment #motivateyourkids #sharekindness #bekindtoyourself #distantlearning #afterschoolprograms# #earlychildhooddevelopment #prekactivities #educators #englishmajors #afterschool #afterschoolprogram #outofschool #outofschooltime

There is a unique and important window of time to provide kids with tools to help them to be truly successful in navigating life experiences, relationships and challenges, as they get older. CDC Data indicates that 1 in 6 children (17.4%) between the ages of 2 and 8 have a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. Boys are more likely than girls to have these diagnoses, and boys need just as many emotional tools as girls. What we do to help children build emotional skills between 2-8 can create massive positive shifts in their mental health. Stomp It Out is a tool that helps children build communication skills, understand their emotions and problem solve. Every child needs these skills and we are in a unique position to help our kids build them. #stompitoutgame #emotionalregulation #emotionalawareness #emotionalintelligence #parenting #internationalparenting #momlife #dadlife #todaysparent #parentingmagazine #feelingsinmotion #opportunity #educationalgames #kidsmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #communication #education #schoolpsychologist #schoolsocialwork #adhd #anxiety #depression #kidshealth #emotionalhealth #bodyandmind #movementinlearning #selathome #socialemotionallearning #wholechild

Activities to build up social and emotional learning (SEL) skills don't have to learned and practiced just in the classroom; they can be completed at home, too. To increase a child's sense of self-awareness, starting daily journal entries can be effective. This gives them time to reflect on the positivity in their lives each day.

Let's not wait until our kids log in to TikTok to start building the emotional skills they will need for social media. We can get started young - in consistent and relational ways over time.

•SEL at home• November theme: Gratitude Create a gratitude journal - somewhere that your child can write something for which they are feeling grateful that day. Your child can decorate the front or even create the book themselves for added ownership and fun. Rather than write broad gratitudes like “family” or “food,” try to encourage more specific aspects of their lives. Use questions to help encourage deeper thinking and more precise gratitudes. #muirlions #davischooldistrict #socialemotionallearning #families #selathome
Each morning we choose which emotion we are feeling today and categorize it to fit one of the four core emotions. The core emotions are happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. Today Reya choose silly, which is a happy emotion. Jaxen chose content which is also a happy emotion. Ari grabbed all of the emotion cards and through them around which made her big brother consider switching his card to “frustrated”. We didn’t need to pick coping skills today because we are having pleasant feelings. Instead we took a moment to express gratitude that we are feeling good! 😁 This activity is part of the Social Emotional Learning level one homeschool curriculum, it is available as a part of the free trial. #homeschool #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolroom #homeschoolprintables #homeschoolmom #homeschoollife #socialemotionallearning #emotions #emotionidentification #selactivities #socialemotionaleducation #socialemotionalcurriculum #homeschoolcurriculum #covidhomeschool #learningathome #selathome #morningroutine #homeschoolmornings #homeschoolmorningbasket #homeschoolschedule
