Introduce the session warmly. Mention that today we are learning to manage stress and calm down during stressful moments. Remind teachers to set a relaxed tone with calming visuals or music.

Discuss what stress is in language that is relatable to 7th graders. Ask students what stress feels like and when they experience it.

Transition from discussing stress to introducing calming techniques. Highlight deep breathing and other techniques in a clear, step-by-step manner.

Guide the hands-on practice. Encourage students to follow along with deep breathing exercise and share experiences in small groups afterward.

Wrap up the session by recapping the techniques. Encourage students to think about when and how they can use these techniques in everyday situations.
