Stress Buster Blueprint

Students will identify personal stress signals and practice two quick self-management techniques—controlled breathing and desk organization—to maintain emotional regulation during challenging moments.

Building self-management skills helps 7th graders recognize early stress cues and use simple strategies to stay calm, improving focus, resilience, and overall well-being.
