Why do you need this?

This lesson package can help teachers establish clear expectations for respectful behavior in the classroom, emphasizing the importance of treating others with kindness and empathy.

By focusing on the concept of "kind hands," teachers can support students' social-emotional development, helping them understand the impact of their actions on others and develop empathy and compassion. Teaching students about kind hands can contribute to creating a positive and inclusive classroom culture, reducing incidents of bullying and conflict by promoting empathy and respect for others.

How and when might you use this?

Due to the content of this lesson package it can be quite flexible in the range of ages it can be used with. A teacher might use a lesson about kind hands at various points throughout the school year, depending on the needs of their students and the classroom dynamics.

· Teaching slides

· Worksheet

· Kind Hands Social story

This lesson emphasizes identifying stress as a process that takes place in the brain and body, identifying when stress can be helpful (eustress), when stress becomes overwhelming (distress), and emphasizes the use of coping skills to mitigate the negative effects of stress.

I find older kids often know their preferred copings skills and have often already spent time with their helping adults exploring/practicing them. So, this lesson does NOT teach specific coping skills. Instead, it explains what is going on in the brain and body when stress is felt, how stress is natural and normal, and why use of coping skills is important to capitalize on stress when we need it. Teaching about stress as normal, and even positive, offers a validating and empowering approach to encouraging the use of positive coping skills.

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

This lesson includes presentation notes (discussion points and questions slide-by-slide included) (2 pages), slides to present (8 slides) , and a worksheet (1 page).
