Every Friday Division 9 & 10 get together to work on Second Step. Second Step is a program that teaches children skills for social and academic success.

Our topic is: Emotional Management

This weeks lesson: Managing Disappointment

Lesson concepts:

• When you don’t get what you want, you can feel disappointed
• Strong disappointment can lead to feeling sad or angry.

Disappointment is something you feel when you don’t get what you want. Sometimes being sad or angry can be a part of feeling disappointed.

• When some people feel disappointed, they get really quiet and sad. They go off by themselves and don’t talk to anyone.
• When others feel  sad or angry, they may feel like throwing something or yelling!

Think, turn, tell:  What strategies have we already learned that you could use to help manage your disappointment?

Here are some suggested strategies for when you begin to feel disappointed:

 

Stop and say “I’m feeling disappointed”.

 

 

 

 

 

Use the Calm-Down Steps

 

 

 

 

 

Talk to a teacher (or your parents if you’re at home!)

 

 

 

 

Find something else to do!

 

 

Use positive self-talk
