Oh this is such a great question (and so common)! We all have off days - totally normal. Sometimes, you need to sit with those feelings and let them play out. Perhaps you're tired, hungry, or need a bit of a pep talk. Other times, you need to "fake it 'til you make it". Talk with your kids about it (a chat over a yummy treat can be just the trick) and see what they think could help. A powerful yet simple way to boost emotional intelligence for younger kids and older students!
