π§ Mental Health Monday π¬
This weekβs topic is Feelings β and why they matter!
Helping students recognize and name their emotions is the first step to managing them in healthy ways. When children can talk about their feelings, theyβre better able to express themselves, build empathy, and make positive choices.
Letβs create spaces where kids feel safe to share how they feel. A simple βHow are you feeling today?β can make a big difference. β€οΈ
