Introduce the session, welcome the student, and set the context. Explain that today's lesson is about understanding and managing big feelings.

Explain what big feelings are in simple terms. Ask the student if they have ever felt really happy, sad, or angry.

Demonstrate the deep breathing exercise step-by-step. Show a visual of taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out. Encourage the student to practice with you.

Have the student practice the coping skill. Observe and gently guide to ensure they are using the strategy correctly.

After practicing, reflect on how the student feels. Ask if the deep breathing helped, and encourage them to use this skill whenever they experience big feelings.

Welcome the student to the session by introducing the concept of becoming a 'Coping Skills Superhero.' Explain that just like superheroes have special powers to handle challenges, they too have special skills to manage big feelings. Visual: A colorful illustration of a superhero with a cape and a big smile, welcoming the student.

Explain to the student that superheroes feel many different things and these feelings are normal. Emphasize that it's okay to feel excited, sad, or even a little scared sometimes. Visual: Cartoon emotion faces (happy, sad, scared, excited) in superhero style.

Introduce deep breathing as a superpower that helps calm the mind and recharge energy. Guide the student by showing how to breathe in slowly through the nose and out through the mouth, like powering up an energy blast!

Now it's time for practice. Encourage the student to follow along with the deep breathing exercise, imagining that each breath is charging up their superhero strength. Visual: A step-by-step infographic showing the breathing process with superhero imagery.

After practicing deep breathing, ask the student how it made them feel. Encourage them to share their thoughts and reinforce that this superpower is always available when feeling overwhelmed. Visual: A reflective superhero character with a thought bubble.
