These were some of the things my 6th graders said as things they do when they are feeling any negative emotion:

1. Listen to music / play an instrument
2. Spend time outside (with family)
3. Read a book (This one made my ELA heart happy!)
4. Talk it out with someone you trust (family, friend, teacher, etc.)
5. Do something creative (draw, build Legos, etc.)

I can help by being available if they need to talk & having some of these coping mechanisms available in my classroom.
