Choosing the Right Coping Strategy
Personal & Social Development · Self-Regulation & Resilience · conceptual
Understand that different situations require different coping strategies — what works for anger might not work for sadness, and what helps at school might be different from what helps at home
What mastery looks like
- Name at least two different coping strategies and explain when each one is most useful
- Choose an appropriate strategy based on the specific situation and emotion
- Reflect on a time a strategy didn't work and explain what they might try instead
Check your understanding
Can Choosing the Right Coping Strategy recognise that when they're angry they need to do something physical like walk around, but when they're worried they need to talk it through — rather than using the same approach for every difficult feeling?
