We have also bee brainstorming friendship strategies with friends from grade 1-5. It is that time of year. :-) We are all getting less sleep as the sun is still up at bedtime. We need to remember how to navigate and cultivate healthy relationships. We are encouraging all Prince Of Wales members to remember, "We might not all be friends but we ALWAYS need to be friendly." In order to do that we need a few cues: "Do put a smile on your face. Do not make personal comments. Do respect personal space at all times. Do not tell secrets in public places such as schools and playgrounds. Do treat everyone as you would want to be treated."
Mindful moment:
Use self talk. When you are doing deep breathing exercises add in a positive message for yourself. Breathe in and say in your mind "I am smart." Breathe out and say "I am strong." Send your self any positive message you think you might need.
