Stress Buster Toolkit

In this 15-minute individual session, the student will learn two quick stress-interruption techniques and practice a guided breathing exercise, then reflect on their feelings. Goals: teach breathing and squeeze-ball methods, reinforce self-awareness through reflection.

Elementary students often lack tools to manage sudden stress. This toolkit equips 4th graders with simple, evidence-based techniques they can use independently, building emotional regulation and reducing anxiety in daily life.
