Coping Strategies Notebook - Teach SEL Calming and Self-Regulation Skills

Kids will create their own individualized notebook to practice coping strategies. Coping skills help learners build self-regulation and manage tough emotions. First, kids will design their notebook with a coloring page. Then, they will identify their top coping strategies they want to practice. Finally, they will put pages together to design their own coping strategies notebook. Different versions are included so that you can use photos of your student in their own notebook!

Why Teach Coping Strategies

Coping strategies are activities and tasks that kids and young adults can perform to help manage and work through tough feelings. It's important that kids must practice coping strategies when they are calm in order to benefit from them when they are overwhelmed with emotions.

Once students develop their own binder, they will be able to use it when they need it. Best of all, it can serve as a resource in a variety of settings, including school and home.

Digital Version

A digital version has been added for Google Drive! Students can add their pictures of themselves and type right into the document.

Three different versions are included:

• Notebook Pages with Black & White Images
