Lesson Plan

Separation Superheroes Lesson Plan

Students will identify and articulate feelings associated with separation anxiety and practice three coping strategies through discussion and role-play to build emotional resilience.

Addressing separation anxiety in a safe group setting empowers 3rd graders to recognize their emotions, share experiences, and gain practical tools—leading to increased confidence and reduced distress when apart from caregivers.
