🌊 Riding the Waves ~ Learning to Handle Big Emotions
The EMBRACE Future project is rolling out Module 3, designed to help children and teenagers (ages 6-18) build emotional awareness and resilience. Each age group, elementary, middle, and high school, is supported with tailored activities and videos.
This week we focus on middle school (ages 10-14) with a new video: “Riding the Waves”.
Maya’s frustrated. A ripped math worksheet. A mess to clean up. She wonders, ‘what do I do with feelings this big?’ That’s when Maya+ shows up with an idea: think of emotions like ocean waves. Sometimes calm, sometimes stormy, but always something you can learn to ride.
🎥 In this short video, middle schoolers will explore:
⇒ What emotional self-regulation means (and why it matters)
⇒ How emotions act like signals that tell us what we need
⇒ Why how, when, and with whom makes all the difference when sharing feelings
⇒ Calming strategies that actually work, like talking to a friend, taking a break, or doing something creative
⇒ How expressing emotions clearly can turn frustration into connection
With practice, anyone can learn to surf the waves of emotion instead of being swept away. The more we notice, name, and share our feelings wisely, the more confident and in control we become.
