The fundamental component of all behavior is self-management, which is the mental processes humans employ to control their attention and conduct. Last week, Ms. Pom emphasized the value of Self-awareness, which is a fantastic starting point for our path toward learning Social-Emotional Learning. This brings us to our next topic: Self-Management. Our goal is to learn how we can help our children become capable of understanding themselves, reflecting on themselves, and controlling their emotions. What is Self-Management? Self-management is the ability to take responsibility for your own actions, set personal goals for yourself and manage your time to ensure you do things to the best of your capacity. Being your own boss and organizing your life to the extent necessary to enable you to be the best version of yourself are the cornerstones of self-management! For example: One sixth-grader, who is nervous about attending middle school, recalls that her fifthgrade teacher taught her that she can change her understanding of a frightening circumstance to help her feel less anxious. This girl chooses to see her new school as an adventure that could lead to making new friends, having amazing teachers, and having exciting opportunities, rather than something to fear. Ways to practice Self-Management Skills at HOME For more details and other ways you can help your child or student, you can visit the link: https://transformingeducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/2018_Self-Management-Strategies_website.pdf Self-management is a continuous process that is unique to every child. As kids learn self-management techniques of their own, parents should be patient with them. Children require time to acquire these skills on their own, even though parental involvement can aid in their development. Stay tuned as we will discuss Social Awareness next week!

“How are you feeling today?” “What is one thing that made you happy at school today?” “What are your strengths and areas you still need to work on?” We often pose these questions to our children, encouraging them to reflect and engage in self-discovery. At the heart of these questions lies the essence of selfawareness—a vital pillar of personal growth and emotional intelligence. Last week, Ms. Tania laid the groundwork for understanding Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) and it’s importance. This week, we are delving deeper into the first competency of SEL: selfawareness. Through this exploration, we aim to empower our children with the tools to comprehend their emotions, recognize their strengths, and identify areas that require development, ultimately fostering a more profound understanding of oneself and others. What is Self-Awareness? Self-awareness is the ability to understand one's thoughts, feelings, emotions, and values as well as how these elements impact our behavior and choices. It also involves evaluating one's strengths and weaknesses with confidence, motivation, and the aspiration for personal development. For our children to manage their behavior well, cooperate with their friends, and navigate life's challenges and obstacles, they need to understand their own feelings and actions first. This is where self-awareness takes place. For example, a self-aware student might observe her anxiety before an upcoming test. She could sense her heart rate accelerating and her stomach tightening, causing her mind to race, thinking about not doing well. To avoid taking the test, she contemplates feigning sickness to her teacher, but in the end, she acknowledges that this response results from how she's feeling about the test. She then concedes that such reactions happen when she is experiencing anxiety. How do we practice self-awareness at home? Encouraging our children to practice self-awareness at home can be an incredible gift for their personal development and emotional well-being. By helping them understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions, we empower them to navigate life's challenges with confidence and empathy. Through age-appropriate activities and conversations, we can instill a strong sense of identity, resilience, and emotional intelligence in them. Here are some activities to foster self-awareness in children that you can do at home. For more details and a comprehensive list of the activities, you can visit the website below: https://www.thepathway2success.com/10-self-awareness-activities-for-kids/ Recognizing and practicing self-awareness is pivotal in personal growth and development. Instilling self-awareness in our children lays the foundation for their emotional intelligence and overall well-being. Nurturing this skill equips them to understand and manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors effectively, fostering resilience and empathy. Self-awareness is the gateway to a broader spectrum of skills that form the foundation of emotional intelligence. However, our journey continues. Stay tuned for our upcoming discussion on self-management, where we will delve into strategies and practices that enable us to regulate our emotions and behaviors effectively, fostering greater control and balance in our lives.

Your generosity and commitment made this event possible. We couldn't have done it without you, and your support means the world to us.

Your participation, encouragement, and sense of community truly made this event a memorable one. Your dedication to making a difference in the lives of those in need is truly heartwarming. The bulk of the funds raised from this event will go to support the continuation of the roof renovation at the elderly home and the remaining funds will go to other charities we continuously support from year to year. 3 weeks after the event, the past and current PAG President along with our Vice President went to visit the elderly residents and also see the continuation of this renovation project that started since our previous fund raising event in April. We can see the big difference that your contributions have made to give them a healthier and more respectable living condition and to provide comfort to the elderly residents.
