Good Choice? Poor Choice Discussion Pictures

# data[].attributes.body
It's amazing the knowledge your children have about the choices we make. In this unit of inquiry, we are looking the concepts of perspective and causation - specifically how our behaviour might be perceived differently by others and how our behaviour might cause others to feel different. Use these pictures to talk about whether your child thinks it's a good choice or a poor choice and why. There are no 'right' answers - the 'why' is the important piece of information. Take an audio or video of one of your discussions and post on Toddle for us to see.

Everyone gets angry some time! Take two pieces of paper and cut them so they look like puzzle pieces.
On one piece, draw a picture of when you were and and in the red zone. What caused you to feel that way?
Then, on the second piece of paper, draw a picture of what you did when you were angry to help you move from the red zone back to the green zone of regulation.
Don't forget to take a picture of this and post it on Toddle for us to see.

Ask your child to explain what happens to their amygdala when they are in the red zone. We're learning how to calm ourselves when we're upset or overly excited so that we can move back to the green zone. The green zone is optimal for learning.
