This set of lessons teaches key stage 3 students the knowledge and skills they need to manage relationships, both in school and at home”. Jenny Fox, PSHE Association Students will learn: How to identify their own emotional responses, to pause, and to choose to communicate constructively so that tension does not escalate. Strategies for resilience: how to recognise and calm down when in fight or flight mode, and how to handle difficult conversations on and off-line. Practical models and examples which provide a context for understanding the theory and application of conflict resolution in a variety of situations. Concrete, tried and tested methods for de-escalating and resolving conflict at home, at school, in friendships and in relationships, so that less harm is caused to themselves and others. To negotiate ‘win-win’ outcomes; effect positive changes; and build meaningful relationships based on honest, positive communication. Methods for building self-esteem and self-confidence. The ability to listen to different perspectives by understanding the positions, interests and needs involved. Strategies for coping with stress and anxiety. Skills that help with managing strong emotional responses in difficult situations such as bereavement, bullying, and major life changes. These are skills and concepts that are returned to at several points in a spiral PSHE curriculum, allowing teachers to build on the input delivered in the sessions.
