Let your students know it is okay to feel overwhelmed about change. If any of your students ever feel overwhelmed or experience out-of-control feelings, they can name five things they can control right now in the moment. This is also a grounding activity. For example:

1. I can control my breathing.
2. I can control my thoughts.
3. I can control my words to myself.
4. I can control my words to others.
5. I can control my body.

Think of other ways to help students to develop grounding strategies.
