Not Coping

I really want to see that movie but can't sit for that long yet @Birdofparadise8

I had one student who I used the hand over the heart with often. They used to call on me when he would be really angry or aggressive and it calmed him down quickly. I also had the relationship with him that he would listen so that helped.

Ah okay why can't you sit for long if you don't mind me asking?

I thought that was cute and a how a hug can help.

Did you teach or still teach @Zoe7

Back issues @Birdofparadise8 Yes still teach.

What do you teach @Zoe7

Hey! @Birdofparadise8

I saw your post about wanting some options for peer support the other day and I thought I would just include some links for you (if you were still interested) that might be a good starting point!

Here is a community friend program that might be cool to check out.

This link is to various other support groups around Victoria that might be helpful.

I hope this helps a bit 🙂

Hi @amber22

Thank you for that I'll have a look.

How are you going?

You're welcome! @Birdofparadise8

I'm going well thank you - how are you??

I have a grade 1 this year @Birdofparadise8 They are sooo little but super cute.

That's good @amber22

I'm just looking at jobs. It's so hard to find something, and I'm running out of time to get one.

I'm going to go for a bike ride soon, so that will be nice.

Aww, grade 1, how adorable. Do you teach in a big or small school? @Zoe7

It is more a middle sized school but on the larger side @Birdofparadise8 I am looking forward to this year as I have a completely new bunch of kids. The last few years I have had some kids again in composite classes and before that I taught all grades Art - so it is going to (hopefully) be a little less hectic.
