As we step into March, we see the first promising signs of spring. Here at BIS, this season of renewal is a perfect time for us to pause, reflect, and check in with our most important garden: our emotional and social well-being. Here are some tips and techniques we can use.
This March, please try the practice of "Emotional Coaching":
Name it to Tame it: When your child comes home frustrated or upset, resist the urge to immediately solve the problem. Instead, help them label the emotion. "It sounds like you felt really left out at lunch today," or "I can see you're feeling frustrated with that math problem." When children can name their feelings, the intensity of those feelings often decreases.
The "Two-Question" Check-in: Instead of asking "How was school?" (which often gets a one-word answer), try these two specific questions:
1. "What was one moment today that made you feel proud?"
2. "Was there a moment today that felt really tricky for you?"
This opens the door for dialogue about both highs and lows.
Please try: The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique
When you feel stressed about a test, overwhelmed by homework, or frustrated with a friend, try this exercise to bring yourself back to the present moment. It’s a secret tool you can use anywhere—even at your desk.
5: Look around.Name 5 things you can see. (e.g., the whiteboard, a pen, the clouds outside).
4: Acknowledge 4 things you can touch. (e.g., your chair, your desk, your clothes).
3: Listen. Name 3 things you can hear. (e.g., the air conditioner, voices in the hall, your own breathing).
2: Notice 2 things you can smell. (e.g., your pencil, the air in the room).
1: Notice 1 thing you can taste. (e.g., the mint from your toothpaste, or just the taste of your mouth).
This simple practice pulls your brain away from worry and anchors it in the safety of the "now."

随着三月的到来，我们也看到了春天最初的希望与生机。在BIS，这个充满新生与变化的季节正是我们停下脚步、进行反思，并关注我们最重要的“花园”——情绪与社交健康的好时机。以下是一些我们可以一起尝试的小技巧与方法。
这个三月，邀请家长尝试一种叫做“情绪教练（Emotional Coaching）”的沟通方式：
说出情绪，帮助平复情绪（Name it to Tame it）：当孩子带着沮丧或不开心的情绪回到家时，先不要急着立刻帮他们解决问题。相反，可以帮助孩子说出他们的情绪。例如：“听起来你今天午餐时感觉有点被忽视了。”“我能看出来这道数学题让你有些挫败。”当孩子能够说出并识别自己的情绪时，这些情绪的强度往往会自然减弱。
“两个问题”的每日交流（Two-Question Check-in）：与其简单地问“今天在学校怎么样？”（这通常只会得到一个简短回答），不如试试这两个更具体的问题：
1. “今天有没有一个时刻让你感到很自豪？”
2. “今天有没有一个时刻让你觉得有点困难或棘手？”
这两个问题可以帮助孩子分享开心的时刻和遇到的挑战，也更容易开启深入的交流。
请试试：5-4-3-2-1 情绪稳定练习（Grounding Technique）
当你因为考试感到紧张、被作业压得有些不知所措，或者和朋友发生矛盾而感到沮丧时，可以试试这个练习，让自己重新回到当下。它是一种随时随地都能使用的小技巧——甚至在你的课桌前也可以悄悄完成。
5: 看一看。环顾四周，说出 5样你能看到的东西（例如：白板、一支笔、窗外的云朵）。
4: 触一触。感受 4样你能触摸到的东西（例如：椅子、桌子、衣服）。
3: 听一听。说出 3种你能听到的声音（例如：空调声、走廊里的说话声、自己的呼吸声）。
2: 闻一闻。注意 2种你能闻到的气味（例如：铅笔的味道、教室里的空气）。
1: 尝一尝。注意 1种你能尝到的味道（例如：牙膏的薄荷味，或者口中的味道）。
这个简单的练习可以帮助你的大脑暂时离开焦虑和担忧，把注意力重新带回安全的“此刻”。
随着三月的到来，让我们记住：每一个孩子都在成长的过程中，我们作为家长和教育者也是如此。世界上没有“完美的一天”，只有真实发生的每一天。让我们一起庆祝那些看似微小却意义重大的瞬间：考试前深呼吸的一刻、向朋友说出的那句道歉、在漫长一天后依然保持的耐心。
一如既往，如果您对孩子的社交或情绪发展有任何担忧，欢迎随时与我们联系。我们始终在这里，与您一起支持孩子的成长。
