18.01.2022 When our kids or teens are in high emotion, their words might sound anxious, angry, inconsolable, jealous, defiant. As messy as the words might be, they have a ...good reason for being there. Big feelings surge as a way to influence the environment to meet a need. Of course, sometimes the fallout from this can be nuclear. Wherever there is a big emotion, there will always be an important need behind it - safety, comfort, attention, food, rest, connection. The need will always be valid, even if the way they’re going about meeting it is a little rough. As with so many difficult parenting moments, there will be gold in the middle of the mess if we know where to look. There will be times for shaping the behaviour into a healthier response, but in the middle of a big feeling is not one of those times. Big feelings are NOT a sign of dysfunction, bad kids or bad parenting. They are a part of being human, and they bring rich opportunities for wisdom, learning and growth. . Parenting isn’t about stopping the emotional storms, but about moving through the storm and reaching the other side in a way that preserves the opportunity for our kids and teens to learn and grow from the experience - and they will always learn best from experience. To calm a big feeling, name what you see, ‘I can see you’re disappointed. I know how much you wanted that’, or, ‘I can see this feels big for you,’ or, ‘You’re angry at me about .. aren’t you. I understand that. I would be mad too if I had to [],’ or ‘It sounds like today has been a really hard day.’ When we connect with the emotion, we help soothe the nervous system. The emotion has done its job, found support, and can start to ease. When they ‘let go’ they’re letting us in on their deepest and most honest emotional selves. We don’t need to change that. What we need to do is meet them where they and gently guide them from there. When they feel seen and understood, their trust in us and their connection to us will deepen, opening the way for our influence. See more

18.01.2022 USHS Visual Arts in Practice students have donated $400 to Breakfast Club as part of their ‘Empty Bowls’ unit of study. This year, due to COVID restrictions, students weren’t able to sell the bowls filled with soup but packet soups proved a suitable replacement. Empty Bowls is an international project actioned by artists and art organisations on a community level. The aim of the project is to remind people of all of the empty bowls around the world and to contribute to reducing hunger in our own backyard. Thanks to Miss Barich who was the coordinating teacher for Empty Bowls this year. #emptybowls #creativefutures #ushsvisualarts
