ESFJs do well in careers where they can find or create a fixed routine and have an outlet for their personable side. They do well in many fields, ranging from education to sales to medicine. ESFJs do best to stay away from isolating or unstructured career areas.

To celebrate the new friendships that have developed and to continue to build relationships with our families, three of our classes decided to hold a Friendship Feast right before our Thanksgiving break. We had the feast in the evening so that more parents would be able to join us. The kids created invitations inviting families to come. I was blown away that almost every family from our class was able to come! That meant we needed to get planning! We had parents sign up to bring items for the feast. Our amazing head of food services provided her fabulous roast turkey and cooked it for us on our feast day! Next we decided to create a beautiful (kid-created) environment to hold our feast. We created pumpkins for centerpieces by stuffing paper bags with newsprint, twisting the top and painting them. The kids traced their hands on green paper and cut them out for the leaves. We painted our hands to create this friendship banner with the other classes involved. The kids collaborated in small groups to come up with a design for a table runner, sketched it on the runner and then painted it. We made labels for all of the food that would be set out. We created "Thank You" cards for the head cook for making us turkey and the custodians who helped set everything up and helped us to tear it all down and clean it all up afterward. Then us teachers took everything our three classes made to the gym after school and set it all up. As families arrived, we organized the food on the buffet and the celebration began! You could see signs of friendship and community building everywhere you looked! We had around 200 people show up for this wonderful celebration of friendship. I had so much fun talking with families and enjoying a wonderful evening with them all! I always enjoy building relationships with the families that I have the privilege to work with. I hope we can do it again! Here is the wonderful team of teachers that worked together to make this all happen. I am so lucky to work with such a wonderful group and I can never thank them enough! I adore them! I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving Break full of family, friends, and food! Enjoy every moment!
The DBT THINK skill stands for Think, Have empathy, Interpretations, Notice, and Kindness which helps clients to make peace, avoid assumptions, and reduce conflict or anger. The THINK skill helps individuals deal with conflict in an empathetic and mindful way by shifting negative thought patterns to a calmer state of mind. The consistent use of this skill can have a positive benefit in several areas of our lives. The DBT THINK Skill PDF handout introduces the THINK acronym. Each component of the acronym includes a helpful tip or suggestion for resolving conflict. For example, it encourages clients to think about the situation from the other person’s perspective, or to think about other, more favorable explanations for a person’s behavior. This handout benefits kids and teens by improving their mindfulness skills in interpersonal interactions. It helps them to more effectively manage their thoughts and feelings, and extend compassion towards themselves and others. Educators and therapists can use this handout during group or individual sessions. Our DBT Think Skill Worksheets allow individuals to apply and reflect on this skill, which makes them helpful add-ons to this handout. *This item is an instant digital download.

There is more to being a good listener than hearing the words another person says. For effective communicators, listening is an active process, rather than a passive one. Active listening benefits both the speaker and the listener. The listener is able to better understand what the speaker is saying and be involved in the process. The speaker is able to feel heard and know that they were understood and connected with the listener. Various factors can make these skills feel very natural for some, and more difficult to learn for others. It is important to remember that learning to be an active listener is a process that takes time and practice. This bundle includes worksheets that enhance active listening skills and understanding. Perfect for counsellors and therapists in training, social skills educators, parents, or anyone looking to enhance their communication skills.

The student identifies how they are feeling. You can limit the number of feelings to ones that are known and simpler. They choose a strategy they think will help them feel better or more in charge of their feelings. Next, they check in on how they are feeling after using the strategy. If they feel calm and ready to learn, they are ready to return to the group. If not, then it is okay to try another strategy. They can try the same one or try a new one. It is important to explain that it is okay to use strategies and check to see how you are feeling multiple times. Each time, the strategy should be helping them feel closer to calm. Last, students decide if they are ready to return. There is also an optional repair plan for students to complete with a teacher, counselor, or other adult. Repair plans are useful when the student’s actions caused some sort of damage, harm or hurt.
