Welcome back to Confessions of a PYP Teacher and the sixth episode in our well-being series.  

It’s been interesting going through this well-being series, because it has really stretched my thinking about how we are supporting our own mental health and that of our learners.  As I was unpacking panic, it really hit home to me.  Although I don’t have regular panic attacks, I do experience acute moments of panic that cause me to worry and to become fearful.  I usually find that these moments come when I feel out of control and do not have a sense of ownership over what is happening to me. 

With this idea in mind, I want to explore how this process can regularly happen within a classroom setting.  We explore simple strategies that make a huge impact for our learners and others within our learning community.
