- When feeling angry with yourself, remember to BeCool.
- If anger involves another person, use your "important voice" and follow the 4-Step plan.
- If anger involves only "self," calm yourself, relax, take deep breaths, and use positive self-talk.
- When feeling out of control, take a deep breath and walk away. Additional ways of getting rid of anger include running, yelling into a pillow, or hitting a pillow or soft surface.
Independent Viewing of Video
Encourage students to view the video independently. Have students practice the calming techniques along with the characters in the video.
Parent Education/Involvement
Consider showing the "BeCool Teacher/Parent Introduction" video and discussing the BeCool strategy at parent meetings, open houses, PTA meetings, etc. You may also suggest that the students take the video home to teach their families the BeCool strategy.
