Comprehensive Emotions Management Plan
In working with hurting kids, you quickly realize that helping them to deal with the difficult emotions in their lives is a major part in helping them to heal. That's why we developed a comprehensive emotions management plan called Jump In! Stand Strong! Rise Up! to help kids understand, cope with and overcome their emotions.
Jump In! is all about not avoiding the emotions that we deal with. The Super Simple Feelings Management Technique represents the Jump In! portion of our comprehensive emotions management plan. This entails teaching young people to See It! Say It! Feel It! Mimic It! and Talk About It!
If you're going to encourage young people to Jump In! and deal with their emotions, you have to give them coping skills to deal with those emotions. That's where Stand Strong! comes in. Represented by the mneumonic "Please Don't Sweat The Small Stuff," this element of the plan encompasses six types of coping skills: Physical, Diversion, Soothing, Thinking, Social and Spiritual.
Once we have taught young people to cope with their emotions and how to deal with them, it is time to help them Rise Up! - to overcome the difficult emotions in their lives. The mneumonic for Rise Up! is "Grand Feelings Exit Plan" which reminds us of the four signs we have overcome our emotions: Gratitude, Forgiveness, Empathy and Pushing On.
