Get Up and Teach

We learned long ago that the secret to doing hard things with students is to unpack the emotions.

That being said, it isn’t an overnight fix. As with all good things, it takes time, intentionality, and patience. And the truth is that all of your hard work may not manifest until the next year when they have a different teacher.

But we don’t do this for ourselves. We have taken this occupation of teaching to grow others. It is truly sacrificial in its nature. So with that said, here is a carousel of ways to unpack and decrease anxiety when your kids are faced with math word problems. But feel free to use these principles with any other contact area.

What skills or content do your kids show the most anxiety with? We’d love to know so we can address it in a future post! Comment below!
