Why within my own studies am I still so turned off by learned negative emotions? Why is anger so feared in our culture and how can we impact change in our microcosm of a classroom?

Emotions are a part of not only who we are, but in how we affect the world. What can we do to better understand our own emotions? How can this, in turn, help us understand others? How can we implement this within our classrooms in a positive culture and effective way?

I would like support with finding resources to help me and my students practice compassion.

How can I help my students to become compassionate towards others? What kind of activities or books are available?

I reread this chapter a couple of times, letting it sink in that before I can have true compassion for others, I have to have it for myself. The quote by Archbishop Desmond Tutu And Mpho really struck a chord with me. "Forgiveness is the only way to heal ourselves and to be free of the past."

I would like support with techniques of how to teach students to be more compassionate towards each other in a day and age where bullying is the norm.

What is the best way to teach students about self-compassion, especially those that beat themselves up over small defeats?

I learned that it is okay to recognize our mistakes and accept them for what they are. Making a mistake doesn't make me a bad person. Being compassionate towards others is way easier than being compassionate towards myself. This is something I would like to try and work on because I am so hard on myself.

I would like support with remembering the ten tips for dealing with difficult people which is found on page 208 of the text. I think they would be very helpful. A difficult person might just be someone who does not believe or have the same awareness as you.

How can we be more aware of our emotions and develop the tools we need to deal with them?

I felt this when reading about self-compassion. It states that we must also take responsibility for our own actions when we practice self compassion. We as a society like to blame someone when things do not go as planned. Accepting responsibility sets a good example for others and shows students that we don't have to blame someone when things do not go as planned. We need to be flexible and apologize and accept responsibility if that is what has h

I would like support with helping one of my students express his emotions more positively. Most days are better than others, but there are times where he will shut down if he is sad, upset, and/or frustrated.

One lingering question I have is how can I help my students become more compassionate? I have a plethora of lesson ideas that I already incorporate, but I always love hearing new ideas!

One "ah ha" I had in this module was understanding emotions. Since I tend to be more introverted I usually like to keep my emotions to myself. However, since reading chapter 2, I have already found myself becoming more aware of my emotions and trying to take more deep breaths, especially in times of stress.

One lingering question I have is how do I begin to help a teacher who struggles to recognize that his/her emotions are affecting his/her teaching and relationships with his/her students and colleagues?  "Onward" by Elena Aguilar does a good job of providing information and examples  of how to start this process with a mentee.  However, what happens if that person is very reluctant to accept that his/her emotions may be part of the problem?

One "ah ha" I had in this module was recognizing how important self-compassion is.  I find that it is much easier to be compassionate towards others than myself.  I realize that I need to let myself make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and move on.  I also need to be kinder to myself and accept that I can't do everything.  I am doing the best that I can.  I am not perfect and that is okay!

One area that I would like more assistance with is additional strategies for helping a teacher show compassion for that one student that drives him/her crazy. I know that teachers need to look at what students have to endure in their lives and take that in to account. However, it is sometimes difficult to keep giving the same student chances over and over again.
