Managing big feelings is a tough job when you’re a little kid. Managing them while also going to school, learning, and socializing? Even tougher. Mountain View Elementary School counselor Charlotte Geddy gets it, which is why earlier this year she started what she calls “Coping Skills Café,” where she invites students to learn different ways to express their emotions when those emotions feel unmanageable. Taking deep breaths, moving their bodies, and talking it through with a friend are just a few of the skills she demonstrates. We just have one question: Can Geddy host an adult version, too?
