Lucy Hone - Guest Speaker P.D. JPC
Sept 18 2018
I had the pleasure to be able to listen to Lucy Hone, explain a little bit about the importance of resilience and wellness. How they work hand in hand.
Things I learnt
Wellbeing = Feeling Good and Functioning Well
Regular Wellness practices will:
Increased ability to cope with stress
• Lower incidence of cancer
• Faster recovery from surgery
• Greater immunity from colds & flu
• More resilient to trauma
• Reduced incidence of heart attacks
• Greater job satisfaction
• Increased productivity
• Increased longevity
• More creative thinking
• Improved ability to make decisions
• Fewer marriage break
In my classroom/home I want them to feel Happiness • Be Healthy • Have Confidence • Be satified with what they can do and who they are • Have Love/Be loved • Have solid Friendships

PERMA summarizes the various elements of well being: the P stands for positive emotions (aka happiness), E for engagement, R for relationships, M for meaning and A for accomplishments. The presence of these five equates to flourishing psychological health; the absence is referred to by academics as languishing.

Implementation in my classroom
I am going to use the Breathe square in my classroom to teach kids how to relax. I also want to explore more with our sharing circles, allowing children to explore their feelings and how we cope with both the good and bad.
Have kids write on their blog a reflection each day. What did I do well today.

Set up an area where if they move there you know they need space and follow up time with you to debrief
For kids to know its ok and healthy to be mad, sad, happy (it's how they deal with that that they will be remembered for)
Its important for us as educators, mentors, parents to take time to be present and deal with our feelings (what makes us happy, sad, triggers for anger) Often we are so caught up at school that the volcano blows at home when it would not have in other places.
Implementation in my life
* Walk daily for some me time
* Keep a journal
* look into a yoga class
* spend more time playing with my kids
