The lesson “Comfort vs. Discomfort” teaches children to identify and label both positive and negative feelings and how those might arise in different situations. The children also learn to ask for help in uncomfortable situations, identifying at least two trusted individuals on whom to rely for help, as well as to safely leave a situation where there is no help. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 19th lesson in the 1st Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Advocacy” unit.
