Pros and cons distress tolerance skills involve thinking about the positive or negative course of action toward an unhealthy urge. This skill is a good tool for thinking through the short-term and long-term consequences of an action. Without carefully weighing the pros and cons, individuals are likely to make impulsive choices that may lead to harmful consequences. The DBT Pros And Cons Skill handout gives a simple overview of this skill. It explains the pros and cons skill in three steps - describe the impulsive behavior the client is trying to avoid, make a list of the pros and cons of giving in to the behavior, and lastly, create a list of pros and cons of resisting the behavior. This handout can help kids and teens make more logical decisions rather than emotional ones. They can list their pros and cons on a separate sheet of paper, while caring adults can support them in turning to the pros and cons skill during distressing moments. The skill can be further applied with our DBT Pros and Cons Worksheet. *This item is an instant digital download.

Grief is so hard to deal with and due to the COVID-19 pandemic our worldwide community is going to be dealing with a lot of grief and loss.

Values are intrinsic to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as they represent what’s important to a person. It can include different aspects such as maintaining healthy relationships, being part of a group or a community, serving as a positive influence on others, and striving for meaningful achievements. Recognizing one's values helps with identifying their priorities whether for their short-term or long-term goals. The DBT Values And Priorities Worksheet is an interactive resource where clients can place a checkmark next to the values or priorities that resonate with them, as well as add any additional ones they feel are important. They are also encouraged to write examples of ways they can implement each value. Use this activity to motivate kids and teens to take an active role in shaping their lives based on their values and behave in ways that feel authentic to them. After answering the worksheet, have a group discussion or sharing session where each child talks about their top value or priority and action plan. Values and priorities are key aspects of accumulating positive emotions, which is the “A” in the DBT “ABC” skills. Thus, this worksheet pairs well with our DBT Accumulate Positive Emotions handout, and also with our Accumulate Positive Emotions Long-Term Worksheet. *This item is an instant digital download.

Validation is a DBT skill that has a soothing impact and reduces emotional distress. Conversely, invalidation leads to problematic behaviors and interpersonal conflicts. When we invalidate, we dismiss or disregard our own experiences and those of others, and one of the ways to break the cycle is to recognize when we’re putting ourselves and others down. The DBT Validation Worksheet is designed to help clients practice validation in their daily experiences. Clients are to read each action and phrase carefully, and then determine if it is a form of validation or invalidation. They need to place a checkmark in the appropriate box to indicate their assessment. Using this worksheet helps kids and teens become more aware of how their words and actions affect others, which can lead to healthier communication and relationships. Parents may also practice answering this sheet with their child to improve family interactions. This worksheet pairs well with several other validation handouts and worksheets in our store, including our DBT Validation Basics and DBT Validation Skills handouts. *This item is an instant digital download.

One of the big items on my Bucket List was to be a part of a TED Talk audience. I am fascinated by every single speaker I have seen on the TED website and knew I wanted to be a part of that energy. Two years ago, I got my wish at TEDxMileHigh in Denver. It was the greatest way to spend the weekend; I left intrigued, inspired, emotionally exhausted but also uplifted... it was perfect. If you ever get the chance to go to one near you, bring someone you can process with. There are so many layers to each talk, it is worth revisiting over and over again! If you aren't familiar with TED Talks, they are short (less than 20 minutes) lectures on a problem, question, or possible solution to a problem or question in our world. Speakers range from scientists, researchers, poets, teachers, religious leaders.... you name it! What I love the most is how much of a punch these speakers can pack into such a short amount of time. Nearly any of these speeches you can watch over and over again, always gleaning new information or a different insight. I have my favorite go-to TED Talks and wanted to share a few of them with you: both the tried-and-true, as well as some of the newer ones I'm still digesting. I hope you'll enjoy watching these for inspiration throughout your week and my fingers are crossed that you can experience one of these events live! Brené Brown: The Power of Vulnerability If you know me at all, you know how much I love and adore the work of Brené Brown. I first watched this talk back in 2012 and sobbed and laughed (often at the same time) through the first hundred times I watched it. It was transformative for me, and if you haven't seen it, please, please, please do. It not only will impact your teaching, but personal relationships with others and, most importantly, yourself. Then head over to check out each of her amazing books. My favorites are Daring Greatly and Rising Strong. She is a treasure. Rita Pierson: Every Kid Needs a Champion I recommend watching this after a bad day at school when you wonder if you're making a difference or if it's even worth it. Rita Pierson was a lifelong educator and a phenomenal speaker. She speaks the truth about the not-so-great parts of being a teacher, but directs her focus on how we positively impact students every day. Mixed in with the realities of teaching and some laughs, she describes how she inspires and leads from the classroom, changes the perspectives of students, and leaves a legacy of love. Grab some Kleenex and have a watch... Linda Cliatt-Wayman: How to Fix a Broken School? Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard Wow, what a principal! She is dynamic, fearless, inspirational and not afraid to do the hard things to ensure that all of her students benefit. You have to love a leader who is fiercely honest and has a clear, precise vision, especially when the students are her driving force. As a principal of a very low-performing, high-poverty school, she shares three slogans that guide her leadership. They will make you laugh, give you hope, and bring tears to your eyes. She leads with love, purpose, and pure authenticity-- you will love this one. Carol Dweck: The Power of Believing You Can Improve Carol Dweck is the guru behind Growth Mindset: knowing that the process of learning is more important than the product, and she champions the power of thinking "Not Yet" instead of "Can't". In such a short TED Talk, she packs in lots of research, strategies, and think abouts that will challenge your thinking, the words you use in the classroom, and how you can start to enact change tomorrow with your students. I love how she breaks down Growth Mindset and proves that it is something you can teach and develop. If you are in need of a mid-year pick-me-up, I recommend watching this and then reevaluating your next unit to see if you can implement just a strategy or two she suggests. Then, look to see how your students react to these small, but powerful changes. Susan Cain: The Power of Introverts How many of us are extroverts? Introverts? What about our students? And how have we constructed our classroom environments for both? I am slightly more extroverted when it comes to teaching, but introverted at home and in life outside of the classroom. This TED Talk is a beautiful explanation of life as an introvert, and how we as teachers, admin, and policymakers have typically created classrooms and learning environments geared toward the more extroverted students. I appreciate all of her research and the real-life strategies we can implement to ensure that every student, whether they be extroverts, introverts, or ambiverts, can thrive in our class. . . . Those are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to inspiring TED Talks, believe me! My original list had over twenty and I struggled to narrow it down to only five. I highly recommend visiting the TED website and clicking through the thousands of talks on every topic you can possibly imagine. What is a TED Talk you would add to this list? Happy viewing!
