Introduce the session with the title 'React or Respond?'. Emphasize that today's focus is on understanding the differences between impulsive reaction and a thoughtful response. Remind the students that this is a personal and academic skill that everyone can improve.

Explain the concepts clearly. Define 'Reaction' as an immediate, often emotional response, and 'Response' as a more considered action taken after reflection. Use examples if necessary.

Introduce the concept of a thoughtful response. Highlight that responding allows us to consider the situation fully and choose our behavior deliberately.

Present real-life contrasting scenarios to the students. Ask them to differentiate which approach would be considered a reaction and which a response. Engage them in a brief discussion.

Summarize strategies for managing emotions. This slide outlines techniques to help students pause and choose a thoughtful response even in emotional situations.

Conclude the presentation by reinforcing the take-home message. Encourage students to practice these strategies in their day-to-day life and reflect on how they can apply them in challenging situations.
