Emotion Management
(Dealing with waiting)
This Topic Quest was designed for Mrs.
sowards' Pre-Kindergarten Class at North Brooks Elementary School by Gina Jackson, a Valdosta State University Preservice Teacher.
| "The
ability to wait is an important part of emotion management." When
you're excited, it can be hard to wait. Thinking about something
else or using a way to calm down can help. Once you're calm, it
is easier to wait. |
